FOREWORD 



illlE war linie history of our community was not made solely l\v the 
bravery, the sacrifices and the victories of its soldiers, sailors and marines. 
The activities of all the rest of its patriotic citizens, men, women, and 
children, played a vital part, whether their achievements were the result 
of individual effort, or of the co-ordinated work of such organizations as the American 
Red Cross, the War Camp Connnunity Service, the Food Administration and others 
too numerous to mention, which surmounted every obstacle caused hy the national 
emergency with a zeal and an unselfish devotion that made history for this old County 
of ours. ' 

In recording this history, it has been the honest aim of the editors to produce 
accurate and complete records. The undertaking has been so immense, however, 
that it is inevital)le that some mistakes and omissions have been made, due to such 
obstacles as the failure of the relatives of some of the boys who lost their lives tt) 
send in photographs to complete the honor roll. 

In the compilation of the necessary data, the editors have received much valu- 
able assistance. Especially should recognition here be given toMr. (irier Hersh for 
his kind help and encouragement. Further, without the splendid co-operation of the 
relatives of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice, the completion of this work 
would not have been possible. 

It is earnestly hoped that there is given, in the.se pages, a general, correct and 

vivid picture of the wonderful and glorious sacrifices of the York County i)eople. If, 

in addition, this history brings us to a realization of the sacrifices of our friends, 

especially those that gave their all. then the aim of this work maj' l)e said to have 

been accomplished.

SOMETIME WE'LL UNDERSTAND 



( )T now. hut ill the coming years. 

It may be in the better land, 
We'll read the meaning of our tears. 

And there, sometime, we'll understand. 

We'll catch the broken thread again, 
And finish what we here began; 

Heav'n will the mysteries explain. 

And then, ah then, we'll understand. 

We'll know why clouds instead of sun 
Were over many a cherished plan: 

Why song has ceased when scarce begun: 
'T is there, sometime, we'll understand. 

Why what we longed for most of all. 
Eludes so oft our eager hand : 

Why hopes are crushed and castles fall. 
Up there, sometime, we'll understand. 

liod knows the way. He holds the key, 
- He guides us with unerring hand: 
Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see: 

Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WAR. 

()T for aggrandizement, acquisition of territory, covetous- 
ness of any kind or vainglory; Ijut at war in tlie cause of 
humane rights — the only cause that could stir this great, 

powerful, peace-loving and law al)iding country to the violence 

that war entailed. 

Our part of America is the giant among the nations of the world. 
It is a country of more than one hundred million people, with resources 
valued at more than two hundred and fifty billion dollars — figures 
that are by far too large for most of us to realize in their full signifi- 
cance. This was a vast force to inject into the terrible war that was 
convulsing the world, but powerful as it was, it could not have been 
given its full impetus without united action of the whole people. We 
— that is to say the bulk of the people — were slow to reahze that a 
state of war existed. But not only did we make up our minds to 
the fact that the country was at war. but also to th(^ fact that it 
needed our help. And we realized too, that the quicker we responded 
to the call and the more energy we put into our efforts the more 
apt we were to shorten the period of strife and save suffering for 
friend and foe alike. 

There was work for every one. Even those who did and gave 
but little should be cheered because of tlie fact that even that little 
counted. What each could and should have done was outlined by 
President Wilson in his proclamation, dated April fifteenth. Nineteen 
hundred seventeen. The people of York County did their share.

PROCLAMATION 



My Fellow Connlrynten: 




nWi piitrancp of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy 
and human rights which has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life 
and action which call for inunediate consideration and settlement that I hope you will 
[xTinitmi' to address to you a few words of earnest counsel and appeal with regard to th(>m. 

We are rapidly [lutting our navy upon an effective war footing and are about to create and equip 
a great army, but these are the simplest parts of the great task to which we have addressed ourselves. 

There is not a single selfish element, so far as I can see. in the cause we are fighting for. 

We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace 
of the world. 

To do this great tiling worthily and successfully we must devote ourselves to the service 
without regard to profit or material advantage and with an energy and intelligence that will rise to 
the level of the enterprise itself. 

We must lealize to the full how great the task is and how many things, how many kinds and 
elements of capacity and service and self-sacrifice it involves. 

These, then, are the things we must do and do well, besides fighting — tlie things without which 
mere fighting wcjuld be fruitless: 

We must supply abundant food, for ourselves and fur our armii's and our seamen not only, but 
also for a large part of the nations with whom we have now made conunon cause, in whose support 
and by whose sides we shall be fighting. 

We must supply ships by the hundreds out of our shipyards to carry to the other side of the sea, 
submarines or nt) submarines, what will every day be needed there and abundant materials out of our 
fields and our mines and our factories with which not only to clothe and e<[uip our own forces on land 
and sea but also to cloth(> and support our people for whom the gallant fellows under arms can no 
longer work, lo hrip clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to 
keep the looms and manufactoTies ther(> in raw material; loal to keep the fires going in ships at sea 
and in tlie furnaces of huiulreds of factories across the sea: steel out of which to make arms and am- 
munition both here and there: rails for wornout railways back of the fighting fnmts; locomotives and 
rolling stock to take the place of those e\ ery day going to pieces: mules, horses, cattle for labor and 
for military service: everything with which the pcoijle of I'^ngland and France and Italy and Russia 
have usually supplied themselves but cannot now afford the men, the material or the machinery to 
make. 

It is evident to every thinking man that oiu' industry and on the farms, in the shipyards, in themines, 
in the factories, must be made more prolific and more cfTicient than ever and (hat they nuist be more 
economically managed and better adapted to the particular requirements of our task than they have 
been; and what I want to say is that the men and the women whf) devote their thought and their 
energy to these things will be ser\ ing the counti y and condiicliiig the fight for |)eace and freedom just 
as truly and just as ( fl'ectively as the mt>n on the battlefield or in the tienches. 

[81 



The industrial forces of the country, men and women alike, will be a great national, a great inter- 
national Service Army — a notable and honored host engaged in the services of the Nation and the 
world, the efficient friends and saviors of free men everywhere. 

Thousands, nay hundreds of thousands of men otherwise liable to military service will of right 
and of necessity be excused from that service and assigned to the fundamental, sustaining work of the 
fields and factories and mines, and they will be as much part of the great patriotic forces of the Nation 
as the men under fire. 

I take the liberty, therefore, of addressing this word to the farmers of the country and to all who 
work on tho farms: 

The supreme need of our own Nation and of the nations with which we are co-operating is an abund- 
ance of supplies, and especially of foodstuil's. The imi)ortance of an adequate food supply, especially 
for the present year, is superlative. 

Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the people ikjw at war, the whole great enterprise 
upon which we have embarked will break down and fail. 

The world's food reserves are low. Not only during the jiresent emergency, but for some time 
after peace shall ha\f come, both our own people and a large piopoition of the {jeople of Europe 
must rely upon the luuNcsts in America. 

I'pon the farmers of this country, therefore, in laige measure, rests the fate of the war and the fate 
of the nations. May the nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the produc- 
tion of their land or that will bring about the most effectual co-operation in the sale and distribution 
of their products? 

The time is short. It is of the greatest imperative importance that evei'ything possible be done 
to make sure of large harvests. 

I call upon young men and old alike and ujjon the able-bodied boys of the land to accept and 
act upon this duty — to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that no pains and no labor is 
lacking in this great matter. 

I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant abundant food-stuli's as well as cotton. 
They can show their patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resisting the great temp- 
tation of the Jiresent price of cotloii and helping, helping upon a great scale to feed the Nation and 
the people everywhere who are fighting foi- tlieir liberties and for our own. The variety of theii' crops 
will be the \ isible measure of their comprehension of their national duty. 

The Government of the I nited States and the governments of the several States stand ready to 
co-operate. They will do everything possible to assist farmers in securing an adequate supply of 
seed, an adequate force of laborers when they are most needed, at harvest time, and the means of 
expediting shipments of fertilizers and farm machinery, as well as of the crops themselves when 
harvested. 

The course of trade shall be as unhampered as it is possible to make it and there shall be no un- 
warranted manipulation of the \ation"s food supply by those who handle it on its way to the consumer. 
This is our opportunity to demonstrate the efficiency of a gi'eat democrac\ and we shall not fall short 
of it! 

This let me say to the middlemen of every sort, wliethei' tiiey are hamlling our foodstuffs or our 
raw materials of manufacture or the products of our mills and factories: 

The eyes of the country will be es|)e(iall\ upon \ou. This is your <)p()ortunity for signal service, 
efficient and disinterested. 



Tlic country expects >uu, as it expects all otheis, to forego unusual profits, to organize and expedite 
shipments of supplies of every kind, but especially of food, with an eye to the service you are rendering; 
and in the spirit of those who enlist in the ranks, for their people, not for themselves, I shall confidently 
ex-pect you to deserve and win the confidence of people of every sort and station. 

To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be managers or operative employes, 
let me say that the railways are the arteries of the Nation's life and that upon thi'm rests the immense 
responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries sufTer no obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or 
slackened power. 

To the merchant let me suggest the motto: " Small profits and quick service;" and to the ship- 
builder the thought that the life of the war depends upon him. The food and the war supplies must 
be carried across the seas no matter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those 
that go down must be supplied and supplied at once. To the miner let me say that he stands where 
the farmer does: The work of the world waits on him. If he slackens or fails, armies and statesmen 
are helpless. He also is enlisted in the great Service Army. The manufacturer does not need to be 
told, I hope, that the Nation looks to him to speed and perfect every process: and I want only to 
remind his employes that their service is abst)lutely indispensable and is counted on by every man 
who loves the country and its liberties. 

Let me suggest also that every one who creates or cultivates a garden helps and helps greatly to 
solve the problem of the feeding of the nations; and that every housewife who practices strict economy 
puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the Nation. 

This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefuhiess antl extravagance. 
Let every man and every woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public 
duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. 

In the hope that this statement t)f the needs of the Nation antl of the world in this hour of supreme 
crisis may stimulat(> those to whom it comes and remind all who need reminding of thr solemn duties 
of a time such as the world has never seen before. I beg that all editors and publishers everywhere 
will give as prominent publication and as wide circulation as possible to this appeal. I venture to 
suggest also to advertising agencies that they would i)erhaps render a very substantial and timely 
service to the country if they would give it widespread repetition. And I hope that clergymen will 
not think the theme of it an unworthy or inappropriate subject of comment and homily from their 
pulpits. 

The supreme test of the Nation has come. We must all speak, act and serve together. 

—WOOD ROW WILSON

WHY WAR WAS DECLARED. 

At a joint meeting of the two houses of Congress assembled 
in extraordinary session, April 2, 1917, President Wilson 
delivered the following address which was the basis of the 
subsequent action of Congress in its declaration that a state 
of war existed with Gerniany. 



Gentlemen of the Confiress: 

ll\\|] called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious, very 
serious, choices ol' policy to be made, and made immediately, which it was neither right 
nor constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making. 

( )n the third of February last I ofTicially laid l)efore you the extraordinary announcement 
of the Imperial Ciermaii (iovernment that on and after the lirst day of February it was its purpose 
to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its submarines to sink every vessel that sought 
to ajiproach eithei- the ports of (ireat Britain and Ireland or the western coasts of Europe or any of 
the ports controlled by the enemies of tierniany within the .Mediterranean. 

That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war, but since 
April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its undersea 
craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and 
that due warning would be given to all other vessels w hich its submarines might seek to destroy when 
no resistance was offered or escape attempted, and care taken that their crews were given at least a 
fair chance to save their lives in their open boats. 

The precautions taken were meager and haphazard enough, as was proved in distressing instance 
after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business; but a certain degree of restraint 
was observed. 

The new policy has swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, 
their character, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom 
without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly 
neutrals along with those of belligerents. 

E\ en hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium, 
though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the proscribed areas by the ( Jerman tiovern- 
ment itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of idenity, have been sunk with the same 
reckless lack of compassion or of principle. 

I was for a little while unable to believe tliat such things would in fact be done by any Ciovernment 
that had hitherto subscribed to the humane practices of civilized nations. International law had its 
origin in the attempt to set up some law which would be respected and observed upon the seas, where 
no nation had right of domination and where lay the free highways of the world. 

By painful stage after stage has that law been built up, with meager enough results, indeed, after 
all was accomplished that could be accomplished, but always with a clear view, at least, of what the 
heart and conscience of mankind demanded. 

This minimum of right the German Government has swept aside under the plea of retaliation 
and necessity and because it had no weapons which it could use at sea except those which it is impossible 

(11 I 



to employ as it is employing them without throwing' to the winds all scruples of humanity or of respect 
for the understandings that were supposed to underlie the intercourse of the world. 

I am not now thinking of the loss of ()r<)pert> involved, inunense and serious as that is. hut only 
of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the li\cs of noncomhatants, men, women and children, 
engaged in pursuits which have always, e\ en in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed 
innocent and legitimate. Property can be paid for: the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be. 

The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind. It is a 
war against all nations. American ships have been sunk, Ameiican lives taken, in ways which it has 
stirred us very deeply to learn of, but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have 
been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same way. There has been no discrimination. The 
challenge is to all mankind. Kaeh nation must decid(> for itself how it will m(>et it. 

The choice we make for ourseKcs nuist be made with a modeiation of counsel and a temperateness 
of judgment Itefitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feeling away. 
Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of th(^ nation, but 
only the vindication of right, of human right, of which we are a single champion. 

When I addressed the Congress on the twenty-sixth of February last I thought it would suffice to 
assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use th(> seas against unlawful interference, our right to 
keep oui- peo[)le safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. 

Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as tht> (;erman submarines have been used 
against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks, as the law of nations 
has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visibh^ craft 
giving chase upon the ojjen sea. It is cduinion prudence in such circiunstances. grim necessity, indeed, 
to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown theii' own intention. They nuist be dealt with 
upon sight, if dealt with at all. 

The (ierman Government denies the riglit of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea 
which it has prescribed, e\('n in tlie defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever questioned 
their right to defend. The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on 
our merchant ships w ill be treated as beyond the pale of law anti subject to be dealt with as pirates 
would be. 

Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best: in such circiunstances and in the face of such pre- 
tensions it is worse than ini^ffectual; it is likely only to j)rodiKe what it was meant to prevent: it is 
\irtually certain to draw us into the war without either the riglits or the effectiveness of belligeients. 

There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of 
submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and oui- people to be ignored or violated. 
The wrongs against which we now array ourselves ar(> not common wrongs: they cut to the very roots 
of human life. 

With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am taking and of 
the grave responsibilities which it involves, but in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my con- 
stitutional duty. I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Imperial (ierman Gove.n- 
ment to be in fact nothing less than war against the Government and people of the United States; 
that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it. and that it lake 
immediately steps not only to put the country in a more thorough stale of defense, but also to exert 
all its power and employ all its resources to bring the Government of tlie (ierman Empire to terms 
and end the war. 

What this will invohe is clear. It will involve the utmost pracliiable co-operation in counsel and 

f 12 1 



action with the tiovernments now at waiw ith ( Icrmanv. and, as incident to that, the extension to those 
( Jovernments of the most liberal financial credits, in order that our resources may. so far as possible, 
be added to theirs. It will involve the or^'anization and mobilization of all the material resources of 
the country to supply the material of war and serve the incidental needs of the nation in the most 
abundant and yet the most economical and efTicient way possible. 

ll w ill in\i)i\i' the innnediale full equipment of the navy in all respects, but particularly in supply- 
ing it with the best means of dealing with the enemy's submarines. It will involve the immediate 
addition to the armed forces of the United States already provided for by law in case of war. at 
least 500,000 men, who should, in my opinion, be chosen upon the principle of universal liability to 
service, and also the authorization of subsecpient additional increments of equal force so soon as they 
may be needed and can be handled in training. 

It will involve also, of course, the granting of atlequate creilils to the Government, sustained, I 
hope, so far as they can equitably be sustained by the present generation, by well-conceived taxation. 
I say sustained so far as may be equitabh by taxation because it seems to me that it would be most 
unwise to base the ciedits which will now be necessary entirely on money borrowed. It is our duty, 
I most respectfully urge, to protect our people so far as we may against the very serious hardships 
and evils which would be likely to arise out of the iiillation which would be produced by vast loans. 

In carrying out the measuies by whitli these things are to be ai-complished we sliould keep con- 
stantly in mind the wisdom of interfering as little as possible in our own preparation and in the equip- 
ment of our own military forces with the duty — for it will be a very practical duty — of supplying the 
nations already at war with Germany with the materials which they can obtain only from us by our 
assistance. They are in the held and we should help them in every way to b' eU'eclive there. 

I shall take the liberty of suggesting, through the several executive departments of Ut^ (lovernnienl, 
for the consideration of your committees, measures for the accomplishment of th'^ s-^veral objects I 
have mentioned. I hope that it will be your pleasure to deal witli ttii'm as havinu b 'cn framed after 
very careful thought by the branch of the (Jovernment upon which the responsibility of conducting 
the war and safeguarding the nation will most directly fall. 

While we do these things — these deeply momentous things — let us b^ very clear, and make very 
<-lear to all the world, what oui' motives and our objects are. My own thought has not bi'en driven 
from its habitual and normal course by the unhappy events of the last two months, and I do not bi'lieve 
that the thought of the nation has been altered or clouded by them. 

I have exactly the same things in mind now that I had in mind when I addressed the Senate on 
the twenlx-secorul of January last: the same that I had in mind wh'n I addressed th^ Congre-i^ on 
the third of February and on the twenty-sixth of February. Our object now. as then, is to vindicate 
the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world against selfish an;! autocratic power and to 
set up among the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of piupose and action 
as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles. 

Neutiality is no longer feasible or' desirable where the peace of the workl is in\()lved and the freedom 
of its people, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autrocratic governments 
Ijacked by organized force whith is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of tti 'ir people. 
We have seen the last of neutrality in such ciicumstances. 

We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that th" sani ' stan lird> of c on lucl 
and of i(\sponsibility for wr-ong-doing shall be observed among nations and their ( iovernm 'nts that are 
observed among the indixidtial citizens of civilized States. 

[ 13 1 



We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feeling toward them hut one of sympathy 
and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their Government attetl in entering this war. 
It was not with th previous knowledge or approval. 

It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old, unhappy days when 
peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of 
dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fellow-men as pawns 
and tools. * 

Self-governed nations do not fill their neighbor States with spies, or set the course of intrigue to 
bring about some critical posture of affairs which will give them an opportunity to strike and make 
conquest. Such designs can be successfully worked out only under cover and where no one has the 
right to ask questions. 

Cunningly contrived plans of deception or aggression carried, it may be, from generation to gene- 
ration can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of courts or behind the 
carefully guarded confidence of a narrow, privileged class. They are happily impossible where public 
opinion commands and insists upon full information concerning all the nation's affairs. 

A steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained except by a partnership of democratic nations. 
No autocratic Government could be trusted to keep faith within it or observe its covenants. It 
must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion. Intrigue would eat its vitals away; the plotting 
of inner circles who could plan what they would and render account to no one would be a corruption 
seated at its very heart. Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common 
end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own. 

Does not every American feel that assuranc(> has been added to our hope for the future peace of 
the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks 
in Russia!' Russia was known by those who know it best to have been always in fact democratic 
at heart in all the \ ital hal)its of her thought, in all th(> intimate relationships of her- people that spoke 
their natural instinct, their habitual attitude toward life. 

The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it had stood and terrible 
as was the reality of its power, was not, in fact, Russia in origin, character or purpose; and now it 
has been shaken off and the great, generous Russian people ha^e been added in all their native majesty 
and might to the forces that ar<> fighting for freedom in the world, for justice and for peace. Here is 
a fit partner for a league of honor. 

One of the things that have served to convince us that the Prussian autocracy was not and could 
never be our friend is that from the very outset of the present war it has filled our unsuspecting com- 
munities and even our offices of (iovernment with spi(>s and set ciiminal intrigues everywhere afoot 
against our national unity and counsel, our peace within and without, our industries and our commerce. 

Indeed, it is now evident that its spies were here even before the war began; and it is unhappily 
not a matter of conjecture, but a fact pnned in our courts of justice, that the intrigues which have 
more than once come perilously near to disturbing the peace and dislocating the industries of the 
country have b(>en carried on at the instigation, with the support, and even under the personal direction 
of official agents of the Imperial Government accredited to the tiovernment of the L'nited States. 

Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them, we have sought to put the most generous 
interpretation possible upon them because we know that their source lay, not in any hostile feeling 
or purpose of the (ierman people toward us (who were, no doubt, as ignorant of them as we ourselves 
were), but only in the selfish designs of a (iovernment that did what it pleased and told its people 
nothing. But they have played their part in serving to convince us at least that that Government 

f in 



entertains no real friendship fur us and means to act against our peace and security at its convenience. 
That it means to stir up enemies against us at our very doors the intercepted note to the German 
Minister at Mexico City is eloquent evidence. 

We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a Covernment, 
following such methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power, 
always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security ot 
the democratic Governments of the world. 

We are now about to accept gage of battle with this natural foe to liberty, and shall, if necessary, 
spend the whole force of the nation to check and mdlify its |)i-etensions and its power. We are glad, 
now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them, to light thus foi- the ultimate peace 
of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the ( lerman peoples included: for the rights of nations 
great and .small antl the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedit^nce. The 
world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon tlic tested foundations of 
political liberty. 

We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. \\ e seek no indemnities 
for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the 
champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied wiien those rights have been as secure as 
the freedom of the nations can make them. 

Just because we fight without rancor and without selfish object, se(>king nothing for ourselves but 
what we shall wish to share with all free peoiile, w(> shall, 1 feel confident, conduct our operations as 
belligerents without passion and ourselves observe willi proud |)unctilio the principles of right and of 
fair play we profess to be fighting for. 

I have said nothing of the Governments allied with the Imperial Government of Germany brcause 
they have not made war upon us or challenged us to defend our right and our honor. TheAustro- 
Hungarian Government has, indeed, avowed its unqualified indorsement and acceptance of the reckless 
and lawless submarine warfare adopted now without disguise by the Imperial (ierman Ciovernment, 
and it has, thert^fore, not been possible for this Government to receive Count Tarnowski, the Am- 
bassador recently accredited to this (iovernment by the Imp(Mial and Royal (iovernment of Austria- 
Hungary, but that Government has not actually engaged in warfare against citizens of the United 
States on the seas, and I take the liberty, for the present at least, of postponing a discussion of our 
relations with the authorities at Vienna. We enter this war only where we are clearly forced into it 
because there are no other means of defending our rights. 

It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness 
because we act without animus, not in enmity toward a people or with the desire to bring any uijury 
or disadvantage upon them, but only in armed o|tposition to an irresponsible Government which has 
thrown aside all considerations of humanity and of riglit and is luiming amuck. 

We are. let me say again, the sincere friends of the German people, and shall desire nothing so much 
as the early re-establishment of intimate relations of mutual advantage between us. however hard it 
may be for them, for the time being, to believe that this is spoken from our hearts. 

We have borne with their present Government through all these bitter months because of that 
friendship, exercising a patience and forbearance which would otherwise have been impossible. We 
shall. hai)i)ily. still have an opportunity to prove that fri(Midship in our daily attitude and action 
toward the millions of men and women of ( ierman birth and native sympathy who li\ e among us and 
share our life, and we shall be proud to prove it toward all who are in fact loyal to their neighbors and 
to the (iovernment in the hour of test. 

I 15 1 



Tlicy aie. most of them, as true and loyal Amoiicans as if they had never known any other fealty 
or allegiance. They will be prompt to stand with us in rebuking and restraining the few who may be 
of a different mind and purpose. 

If therc^ should be disloyalty it will be dealt with with a lirrn hand of stern repression: but if it lifts 
its head at all it will lift it only here and there, and without countenance except from a lawless and 
malignant few. ' 

It is a distressing and oppressive duty, gentlemen of the Congress, which I have before me in thus 
addressing you. There are, it may be, many months of fiery trial and sacrifice ahead of us. It is a 
fearful thing to lead this great, peaceful people into war — into the most terrible and disastrous of all 
wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balanc!'. 

But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall light for tlic things which we have always 
carried nearest our hearts — for demociacy, for the right of thosf wlio submit to authority to have a 
voice in their own government, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of 
right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peac? and safety to all nations and mako th:' world 
itself at last free. 

To such a task we can dedicate our lives and oui' fortunes, everything that we ave and everything 
that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to 
spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness anfl the peace which 
she has treasured. ( iod helping her, she can do no other.

T^^0 OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL POEMS OF THE WAR 



IN FLANDERS FIELDS 

By LIEUTENANT-COLONEL JOHN MtCKEA 

(Died on the Field of Honor) 



IN Flanders fields the poppies grow 
Between the crosses, row on row. 
That mark our place: and in the sky 
The larks, still bravely singing, fly, 
Scarce heard anii<l the guns below. 



We are the dead. Short days ago 
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. 
Loved and were loved: and now we lie 
In Flanders fields. 



Take up our quarrel with the foe! 
To you from falling hands, we throw 
The torch. Be yours to hold it high! 
If ye break faith with us who die 
We shall not sleep, though poppies blow 
In Flanders fields. 



FROM OTHER FIELDS 

A Reply to " In Flanders Fields" 
By JOHN MITCHELL 



O SLEEP in peace where poppies grow. 
The torch your falling hands let go 
Was caught by us: again held high, 
A beacon light in Flanders' sky. 
That dims the stars to those below. 
You are our dead. You held the toe. 
And ere the poppies cease to blow 
We'll prove our faith in you who lie 
In Flanders' fields. 

rest in peace, we f]uickly go 
To you who bravely died, and know 
In other fields was heard the cry, 
For freedom's cause, of you who lie 
So still, asleep, where poppies grow. 
In Flanders' fields. 



As in rumbling sound, to and fro 
The lightning flashes: sky aglow: 
So mighty hosts appear. And high 
Above the din of battle cry, 
"Scarce heard amid the guns below," 
Are fearless hearts who fight the foe 
And guard the place where poppies grow. 
O sleep in peace all you who lie 
In Flanders' fields. 

And still the poppies gently blow 
"Between the crosses, row on row." 
The larks still bravely soaring high, 
Are singing now their lullaby 
To you who sleep where the poppies grow 
In Flanders' fields.

Hail them, our soldiers, returning victorious, 
Peace they have brought to us, hard-worn but glorious. 
They were our power — yea, our fate, our salvation, 
invincible, selfless, sole hope of the nation. 

Cheerfully ihey have given. For us they have bled. 
Our heart's homage we render. Forget not the dead. 
If weary and saddened we will give to them rest 
With home-fires and their loved ones they shall be blest. 

Joyfully we will serve them for great is their need. 
Return them their work. To their soul-cry give heed. 
Saved they the nation. They are citizens again. 
Let work sweeten their lives — 'tis the blessing of men. 

This the reward. Ever-4eading, victorious. 
Strength shall be ours ever mighty and glorious. 
The strength of a unified, w^ar-chastened nation. 
Return them their place in life. This our salvation. 

— Urila Dana Plall.

LETTERS AND EXPERIENCES OF ROYS IN THE SERVICE 

LAST LETTER FROM JAMES WILSON GAILEY TO HIS PARENTS 

"At the Front.'" Friday. July II, 1917. 
My Dear Folks ul Ildriir: 

You will forgive one and a half weeks" silence when you have read this letter. I am sure. 

Believe me. I have been moN ini; around since I wrote you last, and also I have seen many wonderful 
sights. 

I wrote you a letter while I was at tlic mill quarters. You know, we could hear the guns tliere: but 
now I am with tiie guns. But more about that later. 

After we left the mill quarters, we moved on to an auto park, wliere we received onv French am- 
bulances. After we had remained there about one week and had grown accustomed to our machines, 
we moved on for a few days' stay at another place nearer the front, and f'roni thence we cami^ to our 
present position on the front. 

I am now really and truly in the wai'. All the realities of a terrible waifaie haxf been opened before 
my eyes. 

To think that 1 am now in the very midst of this greatest war in history is something tiiat my mind 
is hardly able to grasp. 

For three years I have read about it in a careless, rather unsympathetic manner, livery day at 
home I read about the terrible casualties, but my heart never beat any faster for all that; but now I am 
interested heart and soul. 

I have seen what France has sacrificed. l{!very where out here you see immense military cemeteries, 
where men are actually dumped into the ground, and as you look over what seems like measureless 
acres of rude crosses, each one bearing this inscription, "Mort pour le France" (Died for France), 
you go home with a hea^ y heart. 

I wish I could tell you where I am and thruugii what places 1 traveled to get here, but 1 can't. 
Nevertheless I will say that I am three-((uarters of a mile from the French first line trenches somewhere 
in France. 

Now three-quarters of a mile is not very far, you know; the artillery these days is very heavy; so 
we are situated in front of all the French guns. 

Some of the heavy French guns are several miles behind us and from that distance guns are placed 
nearer and nearer the lines as they grow smaller in size, you undeisland. Now these guns shoot over 
the heads of their own men in the trenches into the (ierman tienches beyond; and, of course, they are 
continually shooting omm' our heads, Ix-cause we are only a little distance liehind the trenches. 

I am writing this letter from a "Poste de Secours ". Now this Poste de Srcours is a cave deep 
underground, because the Germans have a nasty habit of shelling this place continually. 

You see the ( iernians not only sh(»ll the French infantry, which is in front of us. but the French 
artillery, which is behind us. So we eat. write and read to the tunc of Hying shells. 

I have grown accustomed U> the sound of the French shells flying over our heads, Tiie\ arc. of 
course, not meant fr)r- us. but ueNcrthclrss at first they arc rather' flistuibing. They make a swishing 
sound, like a bucket when you swing it around your head as fast as you can. You can hear them coming 
a long way off. 

There is a battery of heavy guns not a hundred feet from here. Wlien they fire it almost knocks 
you down; and when they fire at night, like they did last night, you can't slee]i. 

(Jf course there are hundreds of guns all around us, and when they all get going you hav(> a nice 
little Fotrrth of July celebration, 

[259 1 



At iiif;ht. when all those f;uns fit>t soinjr. you have a sight which can never be forgotten. Every hill 
lor miles around seems to belch out a little hell all its own. Everywhere you look there is a continuous 
stream of fire. Add to that the noise of the shells passing over and the noise of bursting German shells, 
and you can realize, if your imagination is fertile, what a terrible lumpus is kicked up. T never saw a 
more terrible, yet more inspiring sight, than artillery fire at night. You have to see the thing to rea- 
lize it. 

I didn't get much sleep last night: there was too much noise and I hadn't grown accustomed to it 
yet. Besides, stretcher bearers were bringing in wounded a good part of the night, and we had to get 
out and take them to the hospital. 

We work four "Poste de Secours ". Ther(> is one car at one poste all the time. Every day we move 
up to a new poste. Thus we are out four days at a stretch from our base, which is five miles from 
the lines. 

We have (George Griffith and I) been out at the front three days. We have one more poste — one 
that only can be reached at night with any degree of safety. We go there tonight at 8:36, leave at 
4 in the morning for our base, where we can rest for about four days. 

Thus for four days I have slept only about ten hours. But I shall make up when I get back to base. 
It is too much strain to stay here all the time. 

Before I came out here I had a ride in an aeroplane. We were stationed for a few days right beside 
an aviation camp. I got chummy with a pilot and seized the o|)portinuty when it came. You told 
me not to take any unnecessary danger when I left. I have disobeyed this order once. 1 could not 
resist the temptation to take an aeroplane flight. We were up twenty minutes, during which time I 
managed to almost freeze. I wasn't scared a bit after I got used to it: it is not like being on top of a 
high building: you get no sensation of dizziness, because the machine is all around you. 

You can't talk — too much noise from the motor. You can't imagine the sensation of gfiding along 
absolutely unburdened in mid-air. You get a certain sense of fr(M'dom. just like a bird must f(>el. 

When you take a dive (and we took pl(>nty) your stomach comes up in your mouth as if you were 
descending in a fast elevator. 

But the thing that scares you at first is this: when you take a turn you bank your machine up on 
one side so that the planes point straight to the ground. In other words, you turn your machine half 
way over to take the turn properly. 

Well, the first lime he did this. 1 had a funny fin^ling: I thought sure I was a goner. The ground 
looks awfully far olf and you say. "well. 1 do hope that motor keeps going". But I enjoyed the ex- 
perience a lot and would like to go again. 

When ht^ came down, he came straight down for about 1..58() feet, when he straightened and touched 
the ground as softly as a feather. I have a picture taken as I was coming out of the machine after 
the flight: will send it to you. 

We have lots of fun here dodging aerdjjlane bombs. It has been moonlight here for a week — very 
suitable time for air raids. The first time they came over was one of the beautiful nights we were 
beside the aviation camp, before we came to the front. They like to bomb aeroplane camps, you know. 

Imagine the scene: We were sleeping in our cars on th(> stretchers (we always sleep in our cars when 
we are not in a dangerous place). Here, however, we sleep in a cave, as I said before, very deep under- 
ground. Last night the Frenchmen in here closed all the dooi's, started their terribly strong pipes, 
with a result very conducive to headache in the morning. 

Between the aitillery, bad air and huge rats, which run joyfully over your blankets and across 
your l)unk. I had very little sleep. To tell the truth, I was more afraid of the rats than the German 
shells. 

But to return to the aeroplane story. We weie all sleeping soundly, when a guard cries out, "Des 
Bosches, des Bosches: cher chez les abris" (the Germans, the Germans: go to the underground cave.) 

[ 260 1 



Well away evptybody runs like frightened sheep to the caves. We never undress on duty, so of 
course we did not have to dress. 

You hear the German planes draw nearer and nearer— a dull, humming sound in the night, like a 
distant hive of bees. Soon you s(>e the French scaichlights si-arch the sky, a beautiful sight, and soon 
you hear a tap, tap of the machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. But the German planes grow nearer. 
Soon the motor ceases for a moment and almost simultaneously with that you hear a fearful explosion 
A German bomb dro|)|)ed from the plane. They have never come very close to me yet, but they cause 
terrible destruction ami make you hunt the caves at all hours of the night. Of course I see lots of 
German planes by day. By day they obseive; at night they diop bombs. 

A French plane is a common sight. You see it flying very high, with clouds of whitesmokeall around 
it. These small bunches of clouds of white snK)ke are French shells. In exploding they leave a white 
smoke, so that it can be determined how close the shell came. The ( iermans, in firing on French planes 
use a shell which leaves a black cloud of smoke. Likewise you can tell German shrapnel by the size 
cloud of smoke it leaves. 

Yesterday I saw a battle between a German and French plane. It was the most excitiu" thin" 
imaginable. They were very high, but easily seen. They would make for each other, all the time 
tiring their guns. Then one would take a long dive, which looked all the world like it was falling, and 
everybody would draw a breath. Then the machine would right itself, swoop down in a long circle 
and up again, in an endea\()r to get above the other plane. The higher plane has the advantage. I 
never saw such clever maneu\ ering. But at last the Frenchman got above and down the German came 
like a stone, his machine turning over as he came. It was a terrible sickening sight to .see him fall, 
but we all cheered. 

Sunday, July 1.5th. 

As I was writing this letter a call came for wounded at another poste de secouis. even nearer the line 
than this one. So we went up there in the dead of night, the night of July i;5tli, carried our wounded 
down to the hospital, arriving there about 4 A. M. We rested there a day. Then we came out to this 
poste again — the place where I started this letter and hope to finish it. 

I,, f As I said, W(> are way underground here, practicalK safe from shell fire, but we dare not go out and 
stand around. The Germans are shelHng pretty heavily this morning, although most of them are 
going over our heads, in an effort to hit the French artillery in the r(>ar of us. 

You can see the devilish things as th(^y com(>. They make a whining, growling sound miles oil'. 
As they get nearer the whine gets more and more distinct. The dickens of it is that yuu can hear the 
whine but you can't tell at all where it will land. 

I had an interesting experience last night. When we were coming out here, the guard along the 
road stopped us and told us to stop at a certain poste a httle farther on, because the road beyond that 
was being heavily shelled: so we did stop. I had just put my machine in when I heard that inl'ernal 
whining sound. I immediately lay flat on the ground, following the example of all the rest. Well 
the shell wasn't very far off; nobody was hurt, of course, but after- that everybody went in the cave. 

We wear steel helmets to protect us from shrapnel. They are veiy heavy at first, but we easily get 
used to them. We are also compelled to carry our gas masks with us at all times. 

Well, as I said, we stopped a while at this poste along the road, until it was safe to proceed. But 
the Germans weren't satisfied with ordinary shrapnel sheels: they began to send over gas shells. When 
these explotle they fiil the air with gas. for the purpose of hindering French artillery fire. This was 
not dangerous gas, only tear gas. It makes you cough and cry like a baby : the tears just stream down 
your face; it's a funny sight. Well, the way to get around that is to put on your gas mask, and that 
is what we flid. ^ ou stop crying at once. Th<>n everything goes fine. It's a fumiy sight to see men 
running around with these masks on, just like a bimch (»f men with false faces, but with them they can 

[ 261 1 



proceed to their vaiious tasks unhindered by the gas. Well, as we were running- arnund tlicrewitli 
these masks, we found out we had to proceed on our way. So we did. 

Yesterday was the 1th of July for the Frenchmen, you know: that is the I Itii of July. They cele- 
brated the occasion by giving the Germans a very severe artillery fire from 6 to9P. M. So as we started 
out and were proceeding along the road, all the French artillery all around us opened up. We were 
riglit in tlie midst of noise that almost shook your heart out of you. Add to that the gas, a few ( ierman 
shells and a road filled up with wagoners yelling and crying at their horses. It was a great experience, 
not iiarticularly dangerous, but rather trying on the nerves. If some one had been with us and hadn't 
known that all the noise aiound us was French artillery fire, he would have died fiom fear, because it 
really was horrible. 

You learn to know when you are in danger very soon, and as for the horrible sh(>ll lire, you soon 
get used to it. But I don't want you to worry about me. This may s(>em b;id when you read it. but, 







1 INEK.VI. Ol JAMES WILSON C.AILV 

believe me. it is not particularly dangerous. I only write about shells, etc., because 1 want you to know 
about some of the methods of this war. 

If you wcie sitting beside me now, transported, as it were, by some Divine way (I wish it were 
true), an<l hadn't grown used t(i this thing, you would think that theic wasn't very nnich chance for 
this poor kid. 

It is now 4 P. M., Sunday. But who would know it is Sundayi' You are now in church and I 
cant help envying you. Theic is a church in this town, but only one s(>at l(>ft. so I guess we wont 
attend totlay. I say you are gathered together in that good old church at ( '.entre, far away from war. 
Would to God there was no war here. I can walk ten feet and see a hundred stone piles, all that is 
left of a hundred hajtpy homes, all the inhabitants gone, the church destroyed, the trees shot into 
stumps; and so it is all over this war zone. 



^1(^■Z 



I have seen the war now and I know what it is. Thani< (iod it can't last nuicli lorifrci': it may be 
o^ er by winter. When I realize that hiinchcds of thousands haxc f,n\ en up their lives, when I see all 
this destruction of propeilv, when i cairy wounded who yell every time you drive over a rough road 
too fast, it makes me sick and also makes me think this business is no fun. It is nice to talk about 
in America, but hei-e it is hell. 

I have only received one letter from you sinoe I left home. I have written you often, but do not 
know whether you ever received them or not. 

The mail system over here is naturally very irregular. I have cpiite a lot of postals anil pictures 
(my running mate has two cameras and I shall get the piitures he takes), but can't send them now. 
You will see them when I get home. 

I wish I could tell you all I see and hear and feel, 1 know I will be a better man I'oi' il all. 

Don't worry about me. Write me often and I shall try to do the same. Remember tliat, after 
all, I am not in so nnich danger as thousands of other miMi. \\ C musi do oui' duty. 

I send my love to you all. 

WILSON 



LETTER RECEIVED BY MRS. A. L. BAIR ON Ill-Mi SON HAROLD'S DEATH 

October 20, 1918. 
France. 
Mrs. a. L B.\ir. 

Hanover, Pa. 

My dear Mrs. Bair: 

You will know of your son's death by the time this reaches you, and I am not writing to sadden 
you, but to tell you all I know about the circumstances of his death on the field of battle, and to tell 
the love and esteem all of his comrades bore toward liim. 

It was the last day of the battle, and Regimental Headcjuarters was located on the edge of a little 
woods on top of a hill. Through the woods, down the gentle slope and across the littlt^ valley, another 
woods, and there were the Oermans with batteries and machine guns. We were right out in the open, 
and shells had been exploding about us all day, gas, shrapnel, and high explosive. 

About 2:.30 in the afternocjn — it was Sunday, September 29th the Colonel was dictating a message 
to Harold, and I .stood facing both of them, a few feet away. A high explosive shell burst behind 
me, and after the stun of the deafening crash, the Colonel and Harold lay on the ground. The Adjutant 
and I rushed to them. The Colonel was only bruised — a piece of shell had ripped his canteen apart 
and only bruised hiin. Harold got a large fragment, tearing a great gash in his right leg below his 
thigh and in back. Major Cornwell himself was there. Chief Regimental Surgeon, and he immediately 
composed Harold's leg, applied a tourniquet and bandage, gave him an anti-tetanus injection, and 
later a little morphine to relieve his pain. He was conscious throughout, and as brave as any man I 
have ever seen, although he was rapidly losing strength. We did everything possible for him, ff)r we 
loved him and respected him. 

He called me to him and asked me: "Am I going to die, Lieutenant!'" I couldn't tell him, and 
told him he would soon be asleep, and I gave him of my canteen. A few minutes later he called me 
to him and asked: "Captain you are a Mason, aren't you?" I told him, "Yes", and he said: 
"Won't you write to my good old mother, she is a Quaker, and you tell her she is right, — and that I 
love her". Then he closed his eyes. He murmured a bit after then in his sleep, and died about 
four o'clock. 

[263 1 



The Ijattlf contimiod, and I had to continue the message that he had started — workinn; to the last. 
I saw him he (|tiiet. and \v allied to him and covered him with a captured ( ieiman shelter-half, and there 
on the field of battle, with shells still bursting about his noble body, I stood a moment in prayer, and 
my heart wept for this splendid man, your son. 

We had to leave him there when another American regiment relieved us. He wore his identification 
tag, and you will doubtless hear officially of his death and place of burial, probably about two kilo- 
meters north of Montfaucon, not many miles from Verdun. 

I enclose some papers from his notebook and some cards. I don't know who has his personal 
things. The photograph of the French girl is of Odette Audie, the little school teacher back in the 
town where we had our peaceful training. Harold and I both have talked with her together in those 
quiet days. She is a good girl, and would grieve for your son. 

Tell the members of his lodge that I, a Mason, Conemaugh Valley Lodge No. W2. Johnstown, Pa., 
esteemed him as a worthy brother. 

And to you, his mother, 1 write my heartfelt sympathy. He lived nobly and died nobly, held 
the highest non-commissioned oflice the Regiment offers, Regimental Sergeant-Major, and was loved 
by all his comrades. 

Relieve me, 

^'ery sincerely,

LETTER RECER ED RV MR. R. H. KLINEDL\ST DESCRIRING HOW HIS SON 

JOSEPH WAS KILLED IN ACTION 

Dnir Mr. Klinrdinsl: 

The boys of Company F wish to thank you for your kind letter, and we respect your noble and 
manly spirit with which you accept the news of the death of your boy. 

We mourn with you the loss of a good friend and comrade. Joseph was a friend of every man in 
the Company. You have good reasons to be proud of your boy. He went through the second battle 
of the Marne, and let me tell you there were but a few of us that came back. 

Then we were up in the St. Mihiel sector, and later on the Verdun front, but when we came back 
from there Joseph was not with us. He was used as a messenger at the front, and it was while per- 
forming this duty that he was killed. LTnselfishly he offered his life for the great cause, for his ( Country, 
his flag and his loved ones. 

Two messengers were sent out over a shelled Held. Il looked Mke certain deatli. but they had 
orders to deliver the messages. One messenger turned back, the other went forward to perform his 
duty — after the battle he was found on the battl(>field, the message still with him. That was your boy. 
He had himself received a greater and more important message from the Almighty above, and he had 
responded cheeifully. 

From The Roys Of Company F.

LETTER RECEIVED RY MRS. ANNIE C. ALTHOFF FRO\I CAPTAIN N. H. MASSIE 
DESCRIRINC THE DEATH OF HER SON SERGEANT PAUL J. ALTHOFF 

In leplyiiij; to yuur letter of Fi^hruary 10. 191^'. inquiring as to particular.s of your son's death, 
I will endeavor to accquaint you witii all the details that tend to alleviate the sorrow of a loved one's 
death. To know the exact niarnicr of how he was wounded and how he accepted his fat' will no doubt 
seem to shorten the lime anti distance between him and you since you last saw him. 

It was on the 11th day of June, 1918, when the U. S. Marines had been holding back the Huns in 
Rellau Woods, and standing between them arid Paiis. when even the French soldiers had been giving 
ground. They stayed when it seemed that nothing could resist the hordes of Hun shock troops that 
were thrown against their lines. Paul was in the midst of the fiercest part of this fighting and time 
and time again proved himself a hcio by his gallant actions and fighting abilities. There was no such 
word as '" Fear " for him. ( )n this flay the Marines seeking greater honors than merely stopping the 
invadei's, started to ])ush them back and caused them to retreat some few kilometers. 

It was while making this glorious ad\ ance in t!ie Rois de la Rrigade de Marines, (so named in honor 
t)f the Marines who fought there in .lune). that our Company was held up by a machine gun. Your 
scjn Paul volunteered with several iitlier men to capture this gun. They captured it too but while 
rushing this machine gun. the gumieis of which were firing at its highest s[)eed. Paul was struck by 
a machine gun bullet that inflicted a wound which caused his deatli in Feld Hospital No. 15 a few 
hours later. 

He knew his wound would be fatal, but accepted circumstances calmly. When some of his com- 
rades were bearing him off of the field to the hospital he conversed with them on the glorious b?ating 
they had given the enemy that day, and how he was sorry to think that he would not be able to get 
another crack at them. It was with great sorrow that his comrades parted with him at the dressing 
station. Paul had made himself a fViend with th(^ entire company on account of his never ending 
good humor and willingness to bear his share (tf the Ijurden, never complaining and always a source of 
good I'heer. It was during this battle that the commanding officer of his comjiany was mortally 
wounded. 

I regret that I am unable to inform you as to the location of Cemetery No. 211. but rest assured 
that you will soon be notified of the exact sjiot. It is my most earnest desire that you may find com- 
fort and solace in these lines, and that the knowledge that your son bravely sacrificed his life for the 
benefit of his comrades and country on the field of honor may in some way recompense you for your 
great sacrifice.

ROSCOE HANNIGAN, EAST PROSPECT, DESCRIBES THE ACTION 
IN WHICH HE WAS DISABLED 

On the Riviera, Novemb-r 2, 1918. 
Dear Brother: 

Tonight I am happy pourcpioi (why)? Simply because I received oodles and oodles of letters in 
today's mail from home, sweet home, the first mail to reach me since the latter part of August, thus the 
joy and hapjiiness. There is nothing that will hiing more cheer and gladness to me than news from 
the good old LI. S. A. During my sojourn in France I have done very little corresponding, practically 
all of my writing has lieen in the form of iillle notes, which I mailed to the folks at home whenever 

( 265 1 



the oppDitiinity prespnted itsolf, just merely stating; conditions in a rather indi^finite manner, for I 
was afraid to go into details owing to the censorshiji wliieli existed in our division; then again during 
the months of July and August my regiment was continually in the trenches and my position as bat- 
talion surgeon kept me extremely busy; then following my misl'oitune the last week of August, which 
1 never gave you the full details of more than that I was sick in the hospital and physically unable 
to write. 

However, since kind Providence spared my life and I am away down here along the Riviera con- 
valescing, 1 will give you a short synopsis of how it happened. It was one bright moining just as 
dawn was breaking, the birds in the t lees singing their beautiful morning melodies, th(^ entire front 
peaceful and (piiet. everybody fully clothed and at their post for stand too — suddenly like a bolt outof 
the beautiful blue sky the Boche opened with their big guns. It was apeifect barrage and accurately 
laid down. Prior to this we had daily combats with the Boche artillery and I had sort of become 
accustomed to th(> howling and bursting of theif shells. However, during my stay in the fiont, I nev(>r 
experienced such a terrilic bombardment as we luul that morning — the whole earth apparently shook 
and the noise was indescribable, bits of shrapnel and missiles flying in all directions. The air became foul 
smelling and extremely jiungent. Ah ! gas phosgene and mustard. I was busily engaged administering 
to some of the poor boys who had been hit. Assisting me was my sergeant and several stretcher bearers; 
neither one of us detected the gas until we all inhaled some of the poisonous substance. 

Immediately we adjusted our masks but the damage had already been done, at least to me, for 
at that time I was a bit put ou t with the Spanish I^'lu and my respiratory organs were not in a very 
receptive mood for gas. 

We did not adjust our masks innnediately at the first sound of the thrombus horn and gongs. My 
aid station was located a short distance in the rear and conseipiently we tlid not hear the signal, the 
noise was so great. My little band of M. C. boys and I continued to work until we had all of our 
casualties for the morning disposed of — went to my dugout extremely tired and feeling none too good 
from the gas which 1 inhaled. I continued to grow worse and by night was violently ill. In a little 
while found myself on a stretcher, carrying me out of my dugout and gently placing the stretcher and 
its contents in an ambulance, rushed ofl' to a field hos|)ital about nine or ten kilometers in the rear. 
Oh! I was some sick boy — with each breath it felt like someone was sticking a dagger into my back 
and chest. The following day my attending physician told me that I had pneumonia. Long about 
the sixth or seventh day of my sojourn at the field hospital the l^oche decided that T remained there 
long enough and immediately began to shell the small town in which the hospital was located. It 
was a damp, dark and foggy night, and at the most critical period of my illness. Nevertheless the order 
came through to move all patients. 

Once again I was placed on a stretcher and in an ambulance and tht-n began the wild ride midst 
bursting shells over shell-hole roads to a French hospital base, located in a city of about 75,000, twenty 
kilometers in the rear. For excitement I don't think that Sheridan's ride up the Shenandoah or Paul 
Revere's famous ride had anything on it, not saying anything about a trip to Baltimore on the Maryland 
and Pennsylvania. However, I was too sick to enjoy it. Arrived O.K. at the French hospital, but I 
thought it was finish for Ross. The next few days were extremely liazaidous ones for me. On several 
occasions I had visions of going West, but fortunately I received excellent treatment from the French 
doctors and in a few days began to show signs of improvement. I might say that the Boche followed 
me here for I was only here about a week when one night motors were heard buzzing in the heavens, 
which gradually became louder. Anti-aircraft guns opened lire un them. We then knew that they 
were Hun planes bombing the city. 

They ilew directly over the hospital, but fortunately did not drop any bombs on us. \t was rather 
thrilling and exciting, nevertheless. Of course, 1 did not see them as 1 was confined to bed. Several 
of the patients who were able to be up and around told me that they were flying low and could easily 

[ 2()() I 



see them with the naked eye in the dark. I remained in this hospital abont four weeks and then was 
taken still further back, alxnit fil'ty miles, to a large American base. 1 am now able to be out of bed 
and tottering about a bit. Remained here just twenty days when the C. 0. wished a sick leave of 
thirty days on me. and sent m(> down here alonj;- the Mediterran(>an to convalesce. 

Of course, I did not (tbject very stiemioiisly. for it has been a real treat to me. In a previous letter 
to you I told you about stopping over in Paris enroute here, and visiting the American military 
cemetery at Suresnes, on the slope of Mont ^ alerien, where our dear- bidther Chester is .sleeping be- 
neath the sod. I also told you of the beautiful llowt'rs growing on his grav(>; of the beautiful green grass 
growing thereon, and in general how well-kept the cemetery was. I inquired from some of the boys as to 
who was so kind and thoughtful in planting the beautiful (lowers on the graves of our fallen heroes, 
but no one seemed to know. A few days ago while reading the New ^Ork Herald, Paris edition, the 
puzzle was solved. It gave a beautiful description of how the good French mothers of Suresnes go daily 
to the cemetery and care for the giaves of IIkisc who have tlied that France and civ ilization might live. 
It impressed me so nuich that I inunediately wrote to iMme. (Juention. wlio instigated the plan of taking 
care of the graves of the boys who sacrificed their lives on the field of honor . thanking her and the good 
mothers of Suresnes for their- kindness and generosity. I also enclosed a iheck for' her' to purchase a 
Moral design to place on brother's grave, a token of remembrance and devotion t(j our dear departed 
brother from his sisters and brothers. I also requested hei- to take several \ lews of his grave, and will 
send them home when I I'eceive them. 

Yesterday Lieutenant Demsey, who is here on sick leave, anil 1 \ isited the lies De Lerius, lying in 
the bay opposite Cannes, two small islands. On the Island of Ste. Marguerite is a gloomy old prison in 
which was incarcerated fr'om 1687 to l(i80 the mysterious "Man of the Ir'on Mask." whom I have often 
read about in books. It is now used as a prison camp for Boche ])r'isoners of war. We made the trip 
in a small sailboat, and to tell the truth I was not at all di.spleased when I landed safely on terra firma. 
for the sea was extremely rough, in fact the riding of the waves preyed more on my digestive organs 
than the trip across the Atlantic in the early ])ar't of ,lune. However, it was a splendid trip and would 
not have missed it for anything. My convalescent leave has about come to an end; the day of de- 
parture is not far off. I am sojr y in a sense to go, for I realize the sadness and heartaches which will 
welcome me at the end of my Joiriney. My regiment has been in the thick of the recent big drive, 
and I know that many of my frieirfls that bade me good-bye and good luck will not be present to greet 
me. Many have fallen on the fiekl of honor since I left my organization, aird ar'e now sleeping beneath 
the sacred soil of France with a little cr'oss at their head, signifying that they died for world democracy. 

Oh, yes, it will be a sad day when I return to my regiment and glanc? over the r'oll. However, 
such are the fortunes of war. !\o doirbt that ere you receive this I will again be with the boys on our 
way to Berlin. Hoping this will find you all well and happy, I remain lovingly, your brother, 

ROSCOE.

YORK COUNTY BOYS LEAVING FOR CAMP 




THESE ARE SOME OE THE (iOOO YDRK COUNTY SOLDIERS AS THEY LEFT HOME 



w 



'GOBDOM" 

HEN a "Rookie" first reaches a traininfj camp. 
He's scared half to death, feels like a tramp. 
An orderly leads him to the "sick-bay." 
Where he is examined without delay. 



After the "exam" at the receiving ship. 

He gets a bag-o-clothing regardless of fit. 

"What size shoes-'" "Oh about seven." 

The store-keeper throws liim a |>air marked ele\cn. 

The outfit's complete, in white he's dressed. 
And marchi'd to the bairacks with the rest. 
There he's enrolled and assigned to a billet, 
Given a hammock and told how to fill it. 

Then comes the matter of lashing up things. 
No Irish penants showing, their ends of strings. 
To stencil all clothes is an endless job. 
But there's more dirty work in becoming a gob. 

Twenty-one days in detention he must stay. 
And in spite of hard work, gets no pay. 
For three long weeks, sunshine or rain. 
He never even hears or sees a "Jane". 

Oh yes! And tiien there's the terrible situation. 

He wonders if he'll faint at that first inoculation. 

He musters up courage and says: "\ will not." 

But a "(job" hollers: " Wait till you git your second shot. 

He lives through the first and hears an awful yarn. 
A five-foot fall from a hammock. Oh that arm! 
He goes for his second, but not very bold. 
And siu'e enough it knocks him out cold. 

After he recoNcis, as they sometimes do. 

There's still the third shot coming. Whew! 

But the last one, very strange to say. 

In s|)ite of all kidding didn't even make him sway. 

All thru the day fwas drill! drill! drill! 
At night stick to the hanunock or spill! .spill! spill! 
He dreams of storms and terrible ship-wrecks, 
But wakes up to find he's just hit the deck. 

Then there's bag inspection and all that to know. 

Everything must be as white as snow. 

Clean ditty boxes, scrubbed down decks. 

The sea bags and hanunotks musn't show a speck. 



270 



He must wash overy night, watch the clothes line sway. 
For the "Rookie" must wear clean whites every day. 
If ever his clothes from the clothes line fell. 
The "Skipper" at mast, would give him hell. 

Then he studies wig-wag, blinkers and semaphore. 
Navigation, .seamanship and a whole lot more. 
He thinks while drilling he will soon be a "(lob." 
When out of step he gets, and into the awkward sijuad. 

In his hammock at night, in spite of the pain. 
He lays awake thinking of his little "Jane." 
At "Taps" he starts "cussin" th(> Him h(^avily. 
Till he hears: "Hit the deck sailor." At "Reveille." 

At last the twenty-one days aic past. 

And the dream of liberty comes near at last. 

He breaks out shining in his liberty blues. 

But "Alas"! the wei^k end guard they must choose. 

Then curse the bad luck, he's put on guard. 
When the rest shove off, he c'an't leave the yard. 
He growls: "I'm out of luck!" He walks his post 
Through the night up and down the deserted coast. 

Then the "Rookie" begins to plan what he will do, 
When's he's one of the liberty party in blue. 
Right then and there and all thiu the night. 
He repeats, "War is hell," Sherman was right. 

There's all kinds of fighters in the 1 1. S. N. 

"Rookies, Gobs, Sailors (Yoeman) and otiiei- men. 

But to the "Rookie" the woist of the whole crew, at that 

Are the "Jimmey-legs" with their. "\\ liere do you think yer at?" 

But after all is said and done. 

He did his bit, to beat the bun. 

Fighting on land and sea was his job. 

And there'd have been no War without the "(iob".

SATIRE ON THE KAISER 

HIS SATANIC MAJESTY ABDICATED IN FAVOR OF KAISER WILHELM OF GERMANY 

THE ATROCIOUS BUTCHER 

AND SURRENDERS THE KEYS AND ALL SULPHUROUS FIRES WITH WHICH THE INFERNAL 

REGIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTAIN 

WHEN Louis Syberkrop, of Creston, Iowa, wrote the satire on Kaiser Wilhelm, which follows, 
lie little thought it would attract the attention which it has. Requests for copies have come 
to him from Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary of the N a\ y Daniels, Secretary to the President 
Tumulty, and other notables. The article is in the form of a letter from his Satanic majesty to his 
human prototype. It says: 

"To Wilhelm von HohenzoUern. Kinir of Prussia, Emperor of all (iermany and Envoy Extraordinary 
of Almighty God. 

"My Dear Wilhelm: I can call you by that familiar name, for [ have always been very close to 
you — much closer than you could ever know. 

"From the time that you were yet an undeveloped being in your mother's womb have I shaped 
your destiny for my purpose. 

"In the days of Rome I created a roughneck known in history as Nero. He was a vulgar character 
and suited my purpose at that paiticular time. In these modern days a classic demon and efficient 
super-criminal was needed, and as I had known the HohenzoUern blood I picked you as my special 
instrument to place on earth an ann<>x to hell. I gave you abnormal ambition, likewise an oversupply 
of egotism that you might not discovei' your own failings; I twisted your mind to that of a madman 
with certain normal tendencies to carry you by, a most dangerous character placed in power; I gave 
you the ])()wer of a hypnotist and a certain magnetic force that you might sway your peoj)le. I am 
responsible for the deformed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled condition embitters 
your hfe and destroys all noble impulses that might otherwise cause me anxiety, but your strong sword 
arm is driven by your ambition that scpielches all sentiment and pity; I placed in your soul a deep 
hatred for all things English, for of all nati(jns on earth I hate England most; wherever England plants 
her flag she brings order out of chaos and the hated cross follows the Union Jack; under her rule wild 
tribes become tillers of the soil and in due time practical citizens; she is the great civilizer of the globe 
and I HATE HER. 1 planted in your soul a cruel hatred for your- mother because SHE was P]nghsh, 
and left my good friend Bismarck to fan the flame I had kindled. Recent history proves how well our 
work was done. Tt br'oke your royal mother's heart, but I gained my puri)()si'. 

"The inherited disease of the llohenzollerns killed youi- father, jirst as it will kill you, and you be- 
came the ruler of Germany and a tool of mine sooner- than I expected. 

"To assist you and further- hasten my work, I sent you three evil spirits — Nietzsche. Trischke and 
later Bernhardi — whose teachings inllamed the youths of Germany, who in good time would be wilhng 
and loyal subjects and eager to spill their blood and pull your chestnuts, yours, and mine; the spell has 
been ])erfect — you cast your ambitious eyes toward the Mediterranean. Ivuypt. India and the Dar- 
danelles and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but the ambitious archdirke and his nioie am- 
bitious wife stood in your way. It was then that I sowed the seed in your h(>ai-t that blossomed into 
the assassination of the duke and his vvif(>. and all hell smiled when it saw how cleverly you saddled the 
crime on Serbia. I saw you set sails for the licjrils of Norway and I knew you would prove an alibi. 
How cleverly done, so much like your noble grandfather who also secured an assassin to remove old 
King Fr-edrick of Denmark, and later robbed that country of two provinc-es that gave Germany an 
opportunity to become a naval power. Murdi^- is dirty work, but it takes a Hoheuzollein to make 
away and get by. 



"Your opportunity was at hand; you set the world on fire and bells of hell were ringing: your rape 
on Belgium caused much joy. It was the beginning, the foundation of a perfect hell on earth: the de- 
struction of noble cathedrals and other infinite works of art was hailed with joy in the infernal 
regions. 

"You made war on friends and fuc alike and the murder of civilians showed my teachings had borne 
fruit. Your treachery towaid neutral nations hastened a universal upheaval, the thing I most desired. 
"^ Our undersea warfare is a master stroke, from the smallest mackerel pot to the great Lusitania you 
show no fa\orites; as a war lord you stand supreme, for you have no meicy ; you have no consideration 
for the baby clinging to its mother's breasts as they both go down into the deep together, only to be 
torn apart and leisurely devoured by sharks down among the corals. 

"I have strolled over the battlefields of Belgium and France. I have seen your hand of destruction 
everywhere; its all your work super-fiend that I made you. I have seen th(> fi(^lds of Poland; now a 
wilderness fit for prowling beasts only; no merry children in Poland now; they all succumbed to fnwt 
and starvation — I driften down into Calicia where formerly Jews and (Jentiles lived happily together; 
1 found but ruins and ashes; I f(^lt a curious pride in my pupil, for it was all above my expectation. I 
was in Belgium when you drove the peaceful pf)pulation before you like cattle into slavery; you sep- 
arated man and wife and forced them to hard labor in trenches. 1 have seen the most fiendish rape 
conunitted on young wt)men and those who were forced into maternity were cursing the father of their 
offspring and I began to doubt if my own inferno was really up to date. 

■"You have taken millions of dollars from innocent victims and called it indenmity; you have lived 
fat on the land you usurped and .sent the real owners away to starvation. You have strayed awa> 
from all legalized war methods and introduced a code of youi- own. You have killed and robbed the 
people of friendly nations and destroyed their property. You are a liar, a hypocrite and a bluffer of the 
highest magnitude. You area pait of mine and yet you pose as a personal friend of ( iod. Ah, Wilhelm. 
you are a wonder. You wantonly destroy all things in your path and leave nothing for coming 
generations. 

"I was amazed when I saw you form a partnership with the im[)ossible ruik, the chronic killer of 
Christians, and you a devout worshipper in the Lutheran church. I confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle 
at all times. A Mohammedan army, commanded by German officers, assisting one another in mas- 
sacring Christians is a new line of warfare. When a Prussian officer can witness a nude woman being 
disemboweled by a swarthy Turk, committing a double murder with one cut of his saber, and calmly 
stand by and see a house full of innocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fired, 
then my teachings did not stop with >oii, but have been extended to the whole Clerman nation. I 
confess my Satanic soul grew sick and there and then I knew my pupil had become the master. I am 
a back number, and, my dear W ilhelm, I abdicate in your favor. The great key of hell will be turned 
over to you. The gavel that has struck the doom of damned souls since time began is yours. I am 
satisfied with what I have done; that my abdication in your favor is for the very best interests of hell — 
in the future I am at yoiu' majesty's service. 

"Affectionatciv and sincerely, 

■LI ( ll'i:i'. II. SATAN."

OVERHEARD ON A TRAIN SPEEDING FROM BERLIN TO HOLLAND. 

" ■ "*APA, arc we winning or losing the warP" 

W"^ "Sluitup. and stop calling me papa. I am sick at the stomach that F should have such an ass 
for a son. Of course we are winning, this is only a strategic retirement." 

"I know papa, but if we should retire much farther wc will need an unler see boot." 

"Shut up." 

'"Papa, are you sure that Holland is neutral;'" 

"Certainly Holland is neutral. Did I not issue a Royal Decree to that efl'ect?" 

"But, papa, the idiotic Yankees were neutral and now look at them." 

"Shut up." 

"Papa, why don"t you have the train go to Paris?" 

"That is a matter of State which at this time it would be injudicious to discuss." 

"Papa, who started this war?" 

"England, of course." 

"Who finished it, papa!" 

"Shut up." 

"Papa, when will you conunand the loyal (iermans in America to take Washington.^" 

"That is a matter for further thought. I am in receipt of important dispatches from General Sauer 
von Kraut which state that he and his stalf have temporarily retired to Altanta. (ieorgia, to seriously 
consider if the time is ripe for a general uprising. He only awaits my decision in the matter." 

"Papa, what is an armistice.''" 

"My son, an armistice is a (ierman diplomatic move by which cumbersome and useless material is 
thrust upon the enemy and which gives the noble CJerman soldieis a furlough to visit theii- homes for 
Christmas. An armistice is sometimes necessary to strenghten the morale of the Army." 

"Why did you abdicate, papa?" 

"I temporarily abdicated out of the generosity of my heart so as not to embarrass the German people 
with the presence of Royalty during their celebration of the colossal German victory in forcing the 
enemy to bow to our demand for an armistice." 

"But papa, the Grand Fleet bas revolted." 

"My son will you never learn? The revolting of the Grand Fleet is simply a naval way of showing 
the patriotism of the ( ierman sailors. They tak(> this method to express to the world their respect and 
admiration for their kaiser. You certainly must, in the near furture, resume your lessons of naval 
customs under Admiral von Tirpitz." 

"Papa, where is the peace conference to b(> held, in Berlin, Paris or Versailles?" 

"I have not as yet decided. But should the date fall on Christmas, I believe that Paris will be 
my choice." 

"Will you be present, papa?" 

"I think not, as I have matters of the greatest importance, which no doubt will detain me in Holland 
and — anyway, I cannot be troubled with details. I have commanded von Hindenburg to see that the 
German people attend to this matter." 

"Why isn't von Hindenburg with us, papa?" 

"Because he was not invited. You know we left Potsdam suddenly in the night and I had no time 
to bother with him. Also it is of the utmost importance that he attend to certain details of the armistice 
whiih 1 imposed upon the enemy." 

"Papa, what do you intend doing with Alsace-Lorraine!" 

"That is the matter which I have ceased to troidile about, but I may impose upon them the penalty 
of being governed by France as a punishment for their altitud(> in the early days of the war." 

I 274 ] 



"What Generals do you intend to honor after you have dictated th<> peace terms to the enemy?" 

"Such a fool question for a Prince of the Royal Blood to ask. The entire credit belongs to me." 

"But papa, how about (iott?" 

"I must admit that in a luiii> of this diplomatic journey to Holland I had entirely forgotten Gott. 
Of course, he assisted me in a small way. The matter of his reward I will consider at a later date." 

"Papa, why did Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria quit;' " 

"Because I decided at a conference of the War council that they weic of no further use to me and 
I did not wish them to participate in the spoils of this glorious day of victory." 

"So, papa, this is 'der tag?" 

"Yes, my son. this is 'der tag" and my only regret is that that old fool Bismarck is not alive to witness 
my hour of supreme triinnph." 

"But. papa, cannot you detail (lott tcj acquaint him with the facts.^" 

"A brilliant idea; I will do so immediately. If you had only used your brain at Verdun in a like 
manner, my victory would have been much greater, but as it is I confer the I run Cross of the First 
Order upon you for your suggestion about (Jott!?" 

"Papa, why have you decided to give billions of marks to the enemy.*'" 

"Once again you have lajjsed into stupidity, therefore I withdraw the Iron Cross of the First Order. 
This was my greatest fniancial achie\ement; it was a matter which only a master mind like mine could 
have conceived. In addition to being a just punishment to the enemy, it materially benefits the German 
Empire, in that the German mark will have a worldwide circulation. 

"Papa, when we are dead and gone and the history of this war w lit ten how will you rank with Na- 
poleon .'*" 

"My son. Napoleon's deeds will be fdigotten when the coming generations readof VVilhelm. the Just. 
You do not think for one moment thai I liave left this important matter to a lot of ignorant historians. 
The history of this war has already been written according to my dictation and is in Potsdam. Your 
reference to my being dead and gone is very ill-timed. How many times have I told you that VVil- 
helm will never die. Do you forget that \\ ilhelm and ( Jott are immortal;'" 

"But, papa, how about yoiu' sons, aren't you going to provide for them? ^ iiii know I also want to 
be immortal. Just make me innnortal. peiluqis it will not matter so nuich about the rest." 

"My son. I am \\ ilhelm. the Just. I will not make you innnortal without doing the same tor the 
rest of my sons. In my judgment, and I am always right, I am the only one entitled to the honor. 
it is my just due. therefore iKit being able in fairness to confer th(> honor upon all. I have decided to 
retain it for myself alone." 

"Father, you are indeed Wilhelm, the Just." 

"Thank you, my son. I have tried to live up to the title." 

"Papa, the train has arrived at the station: we are at the border of Holland. Why do the Dutch 
people thumb their noses at the Imperial train?" 

"It is a special salute of respect to me which I commanded the people of iloilaiid to observe upon 
my arrival." 

"Do we get out here, papa?" 

"Yes. I have decided to continue my journey by automobile." 

"Papa, you have dropped your box of dope pills." 

"Thank you. my son, you sliall ha\e (lie Iron Cross; you are very obs«'r\ing and have rendered me 
a great service."

YORK COUNTY AND THP: EARLY WARS OF OUR HISTORY 

PART I. FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS 

AN account of the part taken h> the city and county of York in tin' W orld War is a subject of 
great interest at the present time. The purport of this introductory story is to give in graphic 
detail a few of the facts relatin;,' to the part taken by our ancestors of York County in the 
previous wars of our history. 

The facts prove that York ('.ount> iiad ils hirtli (hn'ing a World Wai' which then involved nearly 
the whole of Europe, the centei' of cIn ili/.ation at that time. This chapter starts with the early settle- 
ment of the colonies, including Pennsylvania, and the contention about the claims to territory in western 
Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley. This contention brought about the French and Indian War, the 
first conflict of arms in which the soldieis of ^"ork County took part. In that war' nearly 1,000 sturdy 
settlers of our own coimty, at that time including the area of Adams County, participated. 

The eastern and middle ]>arts of i'emisylvania were settled during a time of troublesome wars on 
the continent of Europe, "i'he luiglish had formed colonies along the Atlaidic coast from Massachu- 
setts to Georgia early in our colonial history. The French first settled Canada, and it was Champlain. 
a French explorer, who named that country New France. 

In 1679, La Salle, a Frenchman and the boldest explorer known to American history, launched at 
Niagara the first vessel that sailed over the (ireat Lakes. He pressed his exploration southward, 
and in 1682, after discovering the Mississippi River, planted the banner of France on the banks of 
that stream, later sailing down to its mouth. This extended New France from the Alleghany Moun- 
tains west to the Mississippi. 

It was the custom of the French and other early explorers to claim the owncisiiip of all land firained 
by a river which they had di.sccotMcd. and thus La Salle's discovery cau.sed the French to lay claim to 
the entire Mississi[)pi \ alley. All that territoiy east of the river was called New France, and that west 
of the river Louisiana in honoT' of King Louis Xl\ , then the powerful ruler of France. 



. AN IMPORTANT EPOCH 

The year 1689 is one of the most important dates in American history. It marks the end of "Early 
American History", and the beginning of another century which ended in 1789 when (leorge Wash- 
ington became the first president of the I nited States. From this time until 1713, colonial wars took 
place, and Pennsylvania played an important part in the last one. 

The two Carolinas anrl Pennsylvania were the youngest of th(> British colonies. The adult in- 
habitants of these colonies had nearly all been born in Europe: while the grandsons of the first settlers 
in th(> older colonies had grown to manhood. 

The success of the French explorers in the Mississippi Valley and in Canada caused them to incite 
tribes of Indians against the linglish settlements of western Pcmisylvania. The French had built a 
fort where Pittsburg now stands, and on(> near the present site of Erie. The governor of Virginia, 
wishing to [Mevent encr-oachments of th(> French in the western part of our- province, sent a regiment 
of troops under Colonel (ieorge Washington, a young man of twenty-one. He riroved northward and 
was met by the enemy at a place which was called Fort Necessity. A contest ensued, and it was here 
that George Washington fired llic first shot in one of the greatest wars of our' history. 



It will thus be sefii that the early settlement of York County was made during a series of wars 
on the fontinent of Europe. The Seven Year's War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763, involved nearly 
every European power. It is known to history as a World War. and since the American colonies paid 
tribute to England at that time, the strife in this contest for the mastery of Europe was carried to 
America. 

This war ended with the triumph of Frederick the Great and the defeat of the French, whicli di- 
minished the power of Louis XIV of France. England had joined with Prussia, and helpcnl her to 
overthrow the other powers of the continent. Meantime the fertile valleys of Prussia along the Rhine 
had been devastated. Thousands of Germans then immigrated to Pennsylvania. About th(> same 
time and before the Scotch. Irish and English Quakers came in large numbers to the province of Penn- 
sylvania and prospered here. 

BRADDOCK'S EXPEDITION 

Things were getting so serious in Pennsylvania that General Hraddock. a trained British soldier, 
crossed the Atlantic in 1755 and marched from Alexandria, Mrginia, toward the present site of Pitts- 
burg for the purpose of driving the French from this fort called Ducjuesne. He was joined by 2.000 
provincial troops from Pennsylvania and Virginia under the command of George Washington, who 
acted as a stafl" officer under Braddock. 

The English army of 4.000 men were met by the French and Indians at a place now called Brad- 
dock's Field, a short distance east of Pittsburg. The English conuiiander did not undcistiuid the 
Indian mode of warfare. In a short time, three-fourths of his oflii-ers and 700 men were killed, including 
Braddock who was pierced with four bullets, for the Indians of that early date had learned to use the 
musket, and were trained marksmen fighting in ambush. A total defeat was averted only by the skill 
and prowess of Washington. In this contest, four bullets pierced his clothing, but he was unhurt. 

After Braddock's d(>feat. the Indians began to cross the Alleghany Mountains, and this caused 
consternation in the town and county of York as well as other sections of southern Pennsylvania. In- 
habitants from the Cumberland Valley and farther west hastened eastward to the town of York where 
they remained until the excitement was over. 

YORK COUNTY MILITARY COMPANIES. 

It was now decided by the authorities of the i)rovince to erect a chain of twenty-five forts along the 
eastern slope of the mcjuntains from tlie Delaware River at Easton extending in a .southwestern 
direction to the Pennsylvania line at Cumberland. Maryland, for all parts of the northwestern and 
western frontiers were now threatened by incursions from the hostile Indians and a few of the French. 
The organization of militia companies was encouraged. Richard Peters, secretary of the Province of 
Pennsylvania, in 1756. reports the following organized military companies in York County : Captain 
Isaac Saddler, Lieutenant Archibald McGrew, F]nsign William Duffield, and sixty private men: Cap- 
tain Hugh Dunwoodie, Lieutenant Charles McMullen, i^]nsign James Smith anil sixty private men Cap- 
tain James Agnew. Lieutenant John Miller. Ensign Samuel Withrow and sixty private men: Captain 
David Hunter. Lieutenant John Correy. Ensign John Barnes and 100 private men: Captain Samuel 
Gf)rdon, Lieutenant William Smiley, Ensign John Little and 100 private men: Captain Andrew Findley, 
Lieutenant William G( inmill, of Hopewell Township, Ensign Moses Lawson and 106 private men; 
Captain William Gibson. Lieutenant William Thompson. Ensign Casper Little and fifty private men; 
Captain Francis Holton. Lieutenant Joseph Ross. Ensign John McCall and 100 private men. 

Fort (iranville. which had been erected near the site of Lewistown. in the Juniata Valley, was 
guarded by Lieutenant Edward Armstrong and a small band of Pennsylvania soldiers. This fort was

attacked July 22, 1 756, when the c()tniiiaiKl(>r and several of the .soldiers were killed and a part of the 
garrison, including some women and children, were taken across the Alleghany Mountains to Fort 
Kittanniiig, then the headquarters of the Delaware Indians. 

EXCITEMENT IN YORK COUNTY. 

During the crisis of aflFairs in the province, the cold indifference of the Legislative Assembly aroused 
the deepest indignation of the patrif)tic inhabitants of Pennsylvania. Public meetings had been held 
in \ork. Lancaster and Berks Counties for the purpose of petitioning the (jovernor and the Assembly 
to aid them in preparing for an armed resistance. George Stevenson, who had been sent here in 1749 
to take charge of the court records when York became a county seat, wrote letters to Ricliaid Peters, 
at Philadelphia, describing the alarming condition of affairs at York. 

Fort Kittanniiig was situated on the Alleghany River, aljoul forty miles northwest of Pittsinng. 
where the town of Kittanning now stands. Immediately after Braddock's defeat in 1775. Hance 
Hamilton, the first sherilf of York County, and one of the original settlers of Marsh Creek, organized a 
company and marched with it to the western frontier of Cumberland County. After the com])letion 
of Fort Lyttleton. in the present limits of Bedford County. Captain Hamilton commanded the garrison 
at that place of defence. Other companies were then organized for active service by Rev. Thomas 
Barton, the rector of the Episcopal Church at York. Carlisle and York Springs; Rev. Andrew Bay, 
pastor of the Presbyterian Church at .Marsh (^.reek ; Dr. Da\ id .Jameson. |)hysician at Y ork, and Thomas 
Armor, one of the court justicps. 

FORBES" EXPEDITION. 

The Provincial soldiers b(>ing successful with the affair at Fort Kittamiing, it was di'terniini'd by 
Sir William Pitt, the next year, to organize an (Expedition for the conquest of the French and Indians 
at Fort Du(piesne. (ieneral Forbes, a trained soldier from England, and with more sagacity than 
Braddock. was i)laced in charge of this expedition. 

Forbes had under his command an army of 1.200 Highlanders, 350 royal Americans, and about 5.000 
Provincial soldiers from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, including 2,000 Virginians under the 
command of Colonel George Wa.shington. Many of these troops passed through York, (ieneral 
Forbes rendezvoused at Carlisle. The Pennsylvania troops, about 2.000 in number, weie under the 
connnand of Colonel Bouquet, a Swiss patriot who had an experience* of several years in European wars. 

The Forbes expedition was a brilliant succe.ss. and ended the French and Indian \\ ar so far as 
Pennsylvania was concerned. The French were driven from Fort Ducjuesne down the Ohio Biver, and 
their Indian allies fled in dismay to the north and west. A new defense was built on the same site 
which was named Fort i*itt in honor of Sir William Pitt, the great ]<]nglish statesman, wlio had iirojected 
this expedition. Dr. Dav id ,lames( m of York was major of the Second Battalion, command(>d by Colonel 
James Burd: James Ewing. Ihen living a few miles east of York and who became a brigadier-general 
in the Bevolution was adjutant of the 3rd Battalion commanded by Colonel Hugh Mercer, the bosom 
friend of Washington. Archibald .McCirew. i^obert McPherson and Thomas Hamilton from York 
County were captains in Mercer's Battalion. That brilliant soldier, Hance Hamilton of York County, 
was major of Armstrong's Battalion.

PART II.— THE REVOLUTION. 

T[ I E inhabitants of ^'ork and vicinity after the defeat of the French at P'ort Duquesne were never 
endangered by incursions from the Indians. They turned their attention to the arts of peace. 
The little town on the Codorus received a new impetus of life. Many new houses were built so 
that the population was soon increased to 1..500. But there was trouble ahead for the honest burghers 
of York and the tillers of the soil in the siurounding country and all over the thirteen American colonies 
which had been founded and settled by the authority of the Knglish Government. It was charged by 
the Am(>rican colonists that the mother country was enforcing tyrannical laws which encroached upon 
the civil rights of American subjects. What is known to history as the Boston Port Bill caused dis- 
sension from New Hampshire to (Georgia. 

Meetings were held in opposition to the laws which were being enforced by the King and Parliament. 
They were held in all centres of population. One of these convened at York in 177 1, being jjresided 
over by Michael Swope. afterward a colonel in the Revolution. At this meeting it was decided by a 
unanimous vote that the inhabitants of York would support their brethren in Philadelphia and other 
parts of the colonies in asking for redress and relief for the distressed condition of the inhabitants of 
Boston. Delegates were appointed to attend the first Provincial Conference at Philadelphia. James 
Smith, of York, attended this conference, and soon after his return home, organized at York in 1774 the 
first military company in America to oppose British oppression and to defend the rights of the colonists. 
The following year Smith was made a colonel of militia for the Province of Pennsylvania, and in 1776 
as a delegate from York signed the Declaration of independence. 



YORK TROOPS AT BOSTON. 

The tocsin of war was sounded by the speech of Patrick Henry before the Virginia assembly at 
Richmond, which was soon followed by the attack on the Provincial forces of Massachusetts at Con- 
cord and Lexington. The patriotic ardor of the citizens of Yor'k and vicinity had now been aroused 
to the highest pitch when they heard that a great battle had been fought at Bunker Hill, June 
17, 1775. 

Thiileen days after this event a company of soldiers from York under the command of Michael 
Doudei, with Heiny Miller and John Clark as lieutenants, began the march to Pxiston where they ar- 
rived July 2.5th, being the first troops west of the Hudson and south of Long Island to join the American 
forces near that city. Although tired and worn by their long march of 500 miles, with undaunted 
courage, they otlVred their servii'es to ( ieneral Washington immediately after their arrival, and asked 
that they be permitted to capture a British transport on the Charles Biver. 

The commander-in-chief commended them for their patriotism, but thought the proposition inex- 
pedient at that time. A few days later Washington detailed them to captuie some British sentinels 
in order that he might learn from them the enemy's purpose in erecting certain earthworks in front of 
the American encam|)ment. This daring feat was accomplished by Captain Doudel's com[)any with 
the loss of one man. Corporal Cruise, a gallant soldier, wlio lingered for several months in a Biitish 
prison in London. The trained riflemen from '^ drk succeeded in killing several of the enemy and bring- 
ing prisoners to the liea(l(|uarters of Washington at (^ambridge. 

The "'York Bitles" and the "Morgan Bitles" of \ irginia were the first soldiers in history to use the 
rifle. This was a new implement of war to the British soldiers at Boston. Corporal Cruise, who be- 
came a piisoner was taken to England, and for a time kept in the Tower of London dressed in his hunt- 
ing shiit like the rest ol' his (-((nnades. He was a novelty to the peo|(le of London, and the rifle he used 
was an object of special interest to the Englisli oflicers.

PATRIOTISM AND VALOR OF YORK COUNTY SOLDIERS 

Tlie martial spirit was now rife in the town and county of Yori<. for in the fail of 1775, five battalions 
of militia were organized, commanded respectively by Colonel James Smith of York, Robert McPherson 
of Marsh Creek. Richard McAllister of Hanover, Colonel \\ illiam Smith of Chanceford, and William 
Rankin of Newberry township. These battalions weie under legular drill and discipline for several 
months. Near the close of 1775, one company was selected from each battalion and a regiment of 
"Minute Men" organized, with Richard McAllister, Colonel; Thomas Hartley, Lieutenant-Colonel, 
and David (irier. Major. Soon afterward a part of this command joined the first expedition for the 
con(]uest of Canada. 

During this year and the remainder of the Revolution, the .spirit of war was constantly impressed 
upon the people of York by the passage of troops from the southern states to join Washington's army, 
and often Rritish prisoners were brought here, or escorted to Frederick, Md., Winchester and other 
points in Virginia. 

In this brief story of historic York County, it is impossible to give the details of the part taken by 
the patriotic men of the town and county in th(> Revolution. Let it suffice to say that they showed 
a valor and patriotism unexcelled in any part of the thirteen original states. In the early part of 1776, 
there were four armed and equipped companies in the town of York, and about 15. 000 militia throughout 
the county, then including Adams, ready to march to the front if their services were wanted. Many 
of these soldiers took part in the battles of I'lrandvwine and ( iermautnwn. and \n subse(]ueiil campaigns 
under Washington. 

( '.olonel Swope's icginient from ^ ork aiul \ icirrity won distinction at Long Island and Fort Washing- 
ton; James Ewing took command of the famous Flying Camp in 1776, and rose to the rank of Brigadier- 
(leneral; Colonel Thomas Hartley, a man of high intellect as well as patriotic vak)r led his men to vic- 
tory on several fields of battle: ( ieneral Hemy Miller, a bold and dashing soldier, received the commen- 
dation of the commander-in-chief for saving the left wing of the army from defeat at the Battle of 
Princeton: ('.(donel Richard McAllister, after organizing the milita of York county marched with the 
regiment, whiih was conspicuous for its bravery at Long Jslantl and at White Plains: Colonel John 
Hay who succeeded him as sub-lieutenant of York County, and Colonel Matthew Dill his associate, also 
won a rejnitation for bravery in the field: Major John Clark received the highest praise for his success 
at Long Island, and at the request of \\ ashington. was placed on thi^ staff of ( ieneral ( ireene. next to 
the commander-in-chief, the greatest American soldier of that period: Colonel David (iriei-, a hero of 
the campaign to Canada received two serious wounds at the famous Battle of Paoli under (ieneral 
Wayrre: and Major' Joseph Prowell with a battnlion of 100 men. led the advance of Sullivan's exjjedition 
into the Wyoming ^ alley to drive out the hostile Indians. 

The achievements of these sons of York County and the gallant soldiers who fought under them, 
have added lustre to the pages of American history. They won a iccord for niilitary achievement 
worthy of being handed down to firtui'e generations. 

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE 

In the meantime Continental Congress was in session at Independence Hall. Philadeljihia. with 
delegates from all of the thirteen colonies. In June, 1775. Richard Henry Lee, a delegate from Virginia 
moved that "these colonies are. and of light ought to be. free and independent states, and they are 
absolved from all allegiance to the British crown and that all political connection between them and 
the state of Great 15ritain is, and ought to be totally dissolved. " 

This motion was seconded by ,fohn Adams, of Massachusetts, and was carried on July 2nd, and the 
Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, then only thirty-three years old, was 
adopted July 1th.

U. S. TREASURY BUILDING AT YORK IN THE REVOLUTION 



A few days later it was signed by 56 delegates with John Hancock, of Massachusetts, president of 
Congress, to first append his signature to this immortal document. James Smith, then a delegate 
from York to Congress, became one of the signers. The news of the adoption of this declaration was 
sent out in every direction by post-riders throughout all the colonies. It was brought to York by James 
Smith and immediately after his arrival, the small statue of (ieorge the Third, at the top of the Pro- 
vincial Court House in Center Square, was torn down. The bell, belonging to St. Johns' Episcopal 
Church at York, was then u.sed for the doublf purpose of caUing the people together in the Court House 
and ringing for services at the church on \orth Beaver Street. On this occasion it was rung with glad 
acclaim by direction of James Smith. These incidents aroused the spirit of our forefathers, who 
resolved to continue the stiuggle until th(> thirteen states sIk mid he freed from the sovereignty of 
Creat Britain. 

The Declaration of Independence was thought by everyone to be a Ijold measure. Now tiiat in- 
dependence was proclaimed, it remained to be seen whether it could be won. Seven years of continous 
war followed and finally in 1781 the last struggle took place at Yorktown, Va., which ended in the 
surrender of Lord Cornwallis and liis entire army to Washington. This event practically ended the 
war but the treaty of peace was not signed until 1783. 

YOBK, THE NATION'S CAPITAL. 

The defeat of Washington's Army at Long Island and Fort Washington caused him to retreat 
across New Jersey toward Philadelphia, then the capital of tlie new nation. He won a brilliant vic- 
tory at Trenton, New Jersey, on Christmas night, 1776, and drove the enemy toward New York at the 
battle of Princeton. 

Soon after this event (ieneral Howe left New York, came up tlie Chesapeake Bay and marched 
toward Philadelphia with a trained army of 18.000 men. Washington met him on the banks of the 
Brandywine a Creek in Ch(\ster County, with an army of oidy 11, 000 men. The British were success- 
ful in this contest, and then moved on toward Philade!|)hia to lapture that city. 

Seeing it was necessary for Congress to move with the public documents, the entire body, not ex- 
ceeding forty men, start(>d on horseback toward Bethlehem. They remained there two days, and then 
came to Lancaster where a one-day session of Congress was held in the ( .ounty Court House. 

In order that Congress might transact the public business with more safety, a resolution was adopted 
to cross the Susqu«>hanna and lontimie their sessions in the Provincial Court House which stood in 
Center Square, York. John Hancock, then president of Congress, was the only person who traveled 
now in a chaise. The rest all came on horseback, stopping for dinner at the Public Inn in the stone house 
standing in Springettsbury township to the south of the turnpike. It is known as the (datz property, 
and it was the first stone house built west of the Sus(|uehanna in the year 1737. The govermnent 
dotuments were brought to York under a guard of two regiments of Continental troops. York then 
contained 286 houses and about I, .500 population. 

ARRIVAL OF CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 

Coming up the road from Wright's Ferry on one calm September afternoon of the eventful year of 
1777. were these illustrious men whose acts and deeds during this dark period of the Revolution have 
given lustre to the pages of American history. 

Among this band of patriots whose intelligence and foresight astonished the nations of the world, 
were John Hancock, Samuel Adams and John Adams of Massachusetts; James Duane, William Duer 
and Governeur Morris of New York: Roger Sherman and Charles Marchant of Connecticut: Robert 
Morris, General Roberdeau and James Smith of Pennsylvania: Charles Carroll of Maryland;

Richard Hfiiry Lfp. Benjamin Harrison (ancestdr of two presidents) and Francis Lijihtfoot Lee of 
Virginia; Dr. Witherspoon of New Jersey, and Henry Laurens f)f South Carolina. These men were 
eminent as statesmen, and twenty-si.x of them tlie year before iiad appended their names to that im- 
mortal document, the Declaration of Independence. 

When Congress assembled in York on the first day of October. 1777, in the historic old Court House, 
which stood in Centre Square, it beheld th(> chief cities of the c(»untry in the hands of the enemy, and 
a shattered and dispirited army retreating before a contjuering foe. The battle of Biandywine had 
just ended in favoi' of the Biitish army, whose numbers were nearly double those of the Americans. 
In the meantime. Washingtcjn was reinvested by Congress, with extraordinary powers and soon 
afteiward took up his winter quarters at \ alley Forge. 

Of the members of Continental Congress during the entire period of the Revolution, none was more 
zealous in legislating for the prosecution of the war than Samuel Adams of Massachusetts. He was a 
man of lofty patriotism and unbounded energy. The English (iovernment blamed .lohn Hancock 
and Sanuiel Adams more than any others for the origin of the war, and a reward of #2.5, 000 was offered 
for the capture of either of them. Both Hancock and Adams, if ever captured, were to be denied pardon 
for their alleged treason to the mother country. With Adams as the leader of Congress while in York, 
the struggle for liberty was simply a matter of life or death. Success in establishing freedom would 
send him down to posterity, honored by all future generations; failure |)ointed to the prison cell 
and the igominy of a rebel doomed to the scaffold. Fverything seemed dark and gloomy during the 
early days of October. 1777. and some of the members of Congress were almctst ready to give up the 
struggle in despair and accept the overtures of peace offered by the British goverrmrent. 

Washington had nf)t yet loomed up as the dominant personality of the Re\olutioir. About this 
time John Adams made the following entry in his diary: 

"The prospect is chilling on every side, gloomy, dark, melancholy and dispiriting. When and 
where will light come fr-omP Shall we have good news from Europe.^ Shall we hear of a blow struck 
by (Jates against l)irrgoyne:' Is there a [lossibility that Washington may yet defeat Howe:' Is there 
a possibility that -McDougall and Dickinson shall destroy the British detachment in New Jersey:' If 
Philadelphia is lost, is the cause of Independence lost!'"" 

The little band of patriots which assembled daily irr the Court Iloiis;' in York, had iircr-eased its 
membeishi|) by the arri\al of newly elect >d delegates in October. It sat with closed doors. None 
but the merrd)ers of ( "ongrcss and occasionally a few government officials were allowed to hear the 
debates on the momentous questions that engaged their' attention. 

In a l)uildirrg at the northeast corner of George Street and Centre Square, Michael Hillegas, Treas- 
urer of the I nited States, kept the funds of the government. At the southeast corner of South George 
Street and Mason Alley was the law ofTicf* of James Smith. This was used by John Adams and other 
members of the Board of War. similar to the War Departini'iit of the jnesent day. 

The president of Congress was Johrr Hancock, of Massachusetts, wlio was then the wealthiest man 
in the L'iriled States. He rented the largest house (jbtainable in York, and some of the other members 
lodged at his residence. As the executive head of the nation he lived in considci'able style, and his 
household expenses were paid by the government. All the other member's were lequiied to pay their 
own expenses, and received a small annual salary paid by the States they represented. Early in 
November John Hancock resigned as President of Congress, and Hi'nry Laurens of South Carolina 
was chosen his successor.

SAMUEL ADAMS' GREAT SPEECH 

The affairs of the new-born nation for a time were controlled by a few men, who met regularly in 
a eaiK'us at the home of (leiieral Holierdeau of Pennsylvania, who lived in a rented house nearly 
opposite Christ Lutheran Church on South ( ieorge Street. Many of the leaders in Congress, including 
Henry Laurens, Benjamin Harrison. Dr. Witherspoon. Richard Henry Lee, Elbridge Gerry and 
John and Samuel Adams lodged in this house. It was here on one October night of 1777 that Samuel 
Adams called a caucus. After obtaining the views of the dilferent members, some of whom were very 
despondent, Samuel Adams rose and delivered one of the most eloquent and impressive speeches in 
American history, as follows: 

"Gentlemen: Your spirits seem oppressed with the weight of public calamities, and your sadness 
of countenance reveals your disquietude. A patriot may grieve at the disasters of his country, but 
he will never despair of the commonwealth. Our affairs are said to be d(>sperate. but we are not 
without hope and not without courage. The eyes of the people of this country are upon us here, and 
the tone of their feeling is regulated by ours. If we as delegates in Congress give up in despair, and 
grow desperate, public confidence will be destroy(>d and American liberty will be no more. 

"But we are not driven to such straits. Though fortune lias been unpropitious, our conditions 
are not desperate; our burdens though grievous, can still be borne; our losses, though great, can be 
retrieved. Through the darkness that shrouds our prosperity, the ark of safety is visible. Despond- 
ency, gentlemen, becomes not the dignity of our cause, nor the character of the nation's representatives 
in Congress. Let us then be aroused and evince a spirit of patriotism that shall inspire the people with 
confidence in us, in themselves and in the cause of our country. Let us show a spirit that will indui'e 
us to persevere in this struggle, until our rights shall be established and our liberty secured. 

"We have proclaimed to the world our determination to die free men, rather than live slaves: we 
have appealed to heaven for the justici* of our cause and in the (iod of battles have we placed our 
trust. We have looked to Providence for help and protection in the past; we must appeal to the same 
source in the future, for the Almighty Powers from above will sustain us in this struggle for inde- 
pendence. 

"There have been times since the opening t)f this war when we were reduced almost to distress, 
but the great arm of Omnipotence has raised us up. Let us still rely for assistance upon Him who is 
mighty to save. We shall not be abandoned by the powers above so long as we can act worthy of 
aid and protection. The darkest hour is just before the dawn, (food news may soon reach us from 
the army and from across the sea." 

BURGOYNE'S SURRENDER 

It was lat(> in ( )ctobei'. I 777. and not long after Samuel Adams delivered his great speech at York, 
that news was biought here of the surrender of Sir .lohn I'vugoN ne. with an army of 6, 000 English 
and Hessian soldiers at Saratoga, (iates, commaiuiing the American iorces. had out-generaled him 
and Burgoyne was compelled to throw down his arms. His entire force was marched to Boston and 
kept there as |)ris(iners of war for one year. I'uigoyne bought liis freedom i)y jiaying S 10.000 in gold, 
with the understanding that this money should be used to IWd and clothe his troo]js. He then sailed 
to England, was elected to Parliament, and there made a strong speech opposing a continuation of 
the war against the United States. 

News from Saratoga brought good cheer to Congress at 'i ork, Washington at ^ alley F<irge and 
every section of the thirteen states. This battle was one of the most decisive in all history and was 
a turning point in the struggl(> of our forefathers for liberty. 

Soon after this event. General Gates came to York and became president of the Board of War, 

f 2')0 1 



succeeding John Adams, who had been sent to France to aid Benjamin Franklin in securing from the 
French government a recognition of the Republic of the United States. 

The attempt of Burgoyne to march down the Hudson and join the British army, then occu])ying 
New York, proved to be a failure. His object had been to cut off the New luigland States from the 
South and prevent communications between the two sections. It was the failure of this attempt 
that added glory to the American Armies throughout all the great powers in Europe and gave great 
prestige to the Americans. 

IMPORTANT TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS 

Congress had passed while in session at York thr Articles of Confederation wliich. when adopted 
by the sufficient number of states, made the Declaration of Independence a reality ; received the news 
of the great and decisive battle of Saratoga: commissioned Lafayette a majf)r-general in the army: 
received Baron Steuben, the military chieftain from the Court of Frederick the ( ireat. made him a 
major-general and sent him to the headquarters of the army to drill the American troops in the im- 
proved tactics of that day: received the news from Benjamin Franklin at Paiis that the Ring of France 
and his country had agreed to help us in our struggle for Independence; received the lirst of several 
contributions of money from the French Government to carry on the war and received the news of 
the arrival of the first French troops and fleet that came to our assistance. These are a few. but not 
all, of the imjjortant transactions of Congress while in session at York. 

At no other place during the Revolution, except Philadelphia, was there any legislation by Con- 
tinental Congress in any way comparable to that transacted whil(> in session at York. It is a fact, 
however, that sessions of this body were held for one day in Lancaster, Pa. : a short time at Princeton, 
N. J.: about two months in Baltimore and a brief period at Annapolis. Md. At none of these places 
do the journals of Congress record the passage of any legislation or the transaction of any business 
for the prosecution of the war in any degree commensurate with that done at York during nine months 
of the years 1777 and 1778. 

BATTLE OF FOBT WASHINGTON 

The most serious loss of York County troops during the BcNohition was at the battle of Fort 
Washington, which took place in the northern part of what is now New York City. Colonel Roltert 
Magaw of Carlisle, with about .3, .500 troojjs from Pennsyhania. was assigned the important duty of 
defending this fort. It was attacked in the fall of 1 770 by a large force of English and Hessian troops. 

Colonel Michael Swope of York, then in command of the First Regiment of the Flying Camp, was 
ordered by Magaw to defend the approaches to the fort. Terms of surrender were offered by the 
enemy, but Swope refused. A furious contest ensued when the gallant colonel and 100 of his York 
County soldiers were killed, wounded or became [prisoners of war. 

A part of the Second Regiment of the Flying ( '.amp connnanded by Colonel McAllister of Hanover, 
took part in this engagement, and the remainder of his regiment under Major Clark, engaged the 
British on Staten Island where the first Hessian prisoners of war were captured. 

At Fort Washington the British outnumbered the Amerii-ans three to one. and the raptured men 
were held in New York prisons for nearly two years. Among them was Colonel Swope, whose wife 
kept the Swope Inn on West Market Street, York, where John Hancock, president of Congress, was 
entertained while in York. 

[291 ] 



BRITISH LEA\E PHILADELPHIA 

Congress remained in session in Yoi k for nine months, and then returned to Philadelphia. In the 
meantime, General Howe resigned his command of Philad('l()hia and returned to England. Sir Henry 
Clinton succeeded him. and on ,Inne 18. 1778. hf evacuated the city and began the march toward 
New York. 

Washington remained at \ alley Forge during the winter of 1777-78 while Congress was at York. 
There is no record that he ever came here during that winter. I nfortunately, many members of 
Congress, then composed of forty delegates, were opposed to Washington because he was defeated at 
Brandywine and Germantown. The strong men of Congress, however, stood by him. 

What is known as the Conway Cabal, a conspiracy to remove him from command of the army and 
place Gates in his stead, collapsed at a bancjuet given to Lafayette at the home of (iates in York in 
February, 1778. At this banquet, Lafayette rose from his chaii' and oli'ered a toast in support of the 
commandei--in-chief. and that ended the controversy. 

WASHINGTON LEAVES VALLEY FORGE 

When Washington heard the British had left Philadelphia, after receiving recruits to his army. h(> 
broke camp at ^'alley Forge, crossed the Delaware at Trenton, and began pursuit of the British army 
on June 21st. intending to strike them whenever a gofid opportunity was afforded. His own troops were 
then in splendid trim, having received careful drill and discipline during the winter encampment at 
Valley Forge. 

BATTLE OF MONMOUTH 

The two armies met at Monmouth. \. .!.. in August. 1778. where a terrible battle took place. 
General Washingtim displayed remarkable courage and skill in this engagement, and his success gained 
for him prestige throughout lunope as a great military conmiander. General (ireene. next to Washing- 
ton the ablest soldiei' of the He\ ohition, was present. Ivnox connnanded the artillery, and the famous 
Wayne, who distinguished himself with his Pennsylvania ti-oo|)s at Brandywine. (iermantown and 
Paoli, fought with great gallantry in this battle. 

At a time when (ieneral Charles Lee disappointed the connnander-in-chief. Washington rode 
forward into the tliickest of the light, and for more than an hour the bullets whizzed around him. He 
turned the tide of the contest, woti the battle and added laurels to American arms. This battle in- 
creased the power and influence of the connnandei-in-chief. P'rom that time forth he was recognized 
as one of the greatest soldiers of any age. 

In the battle of Monmouth the Seventh Pentisylvania Line, formerly commanded by Colonel 
Grier of Yoik. distinguished itself for ^alol■. It was largely composed of ^ ork ( ".ounty tntops. Colonel 
Grier had been wounded in the battle of Paoli the year before, and his regiment at Monmouth was 
connnanded by Colonel Irvin(\ Henry Miller who left York as a lieutenant for Boston in 1775, was 
major of the First Pennsylvania Regiment at Monmouth. His connnand occupied the extreme left. 
At a certain time in the battle, Washington ordered this regiment forward. It was led by Miller who, 
for his gallantry in action, was promoted to the rank of colonel by Washington in the field. In this 
regiment also were three companies of \ ork County troops. 

Major John Clark of York, who also marched to Boston in 1775, acted as chief of scouts to Washing- 
ton's army while at \'alley Forge. For his courage and ability. Clark was made chief of staff for ( ieneral 
Greene at Monmouth. For his gallantry there, Washington recommended him to Corrgrcss for pid- 
motion. His home at York was at the Southwest corner of Market and Beaver Streets, where he lived 
until the time of his death in 1817.

THE END OF THE WAR 

After the dftVat of the British in the Battli' of Monmouth, the seat of war was transferred to the 
South. An army und(>r Lord ('ornwalhs t>ngage(l in several battles in South Carolina. He then be- 
gan a march northward in pursuit of General Greene. The two armies met at the present site of 
Greensboro. N. C., where a drawn battle took place. Meantime. Washington began to move his army 
southward. 

Lafayette, with ;5. ()()() num. crossed the lower end of ^ ork ( '.ounty and halted at Fredericksburg. 
Va. Meantime, (General Anthony Wayne with a brigade of Pennsylvania troops had encamped at 
York for two months with his head(|uarters in a building now standing at the northwest cortier of Market 
and Beaver Streets. He n>cruiteil his brigade antl started from York on his inarch southward and 
joined Lafayette at Fredericksburg. These two commands moved southward and joined Washington 
at Yorktown. Va. 

A severe battle followed with Lord Goinwallis. Washington then laid siege to Yorkt(nvn. and in 
the meantime a French Meet and an armv of 1.000 men landed at themouth of the James Ri\ci-. The 
arrival of these French troops and fleet prcNcnted ('.ornwallis from esca|)ing. and in October. 1781. 
he surrendei'ed his army to Washington. The British commander feigned sickness and sent a sub- 
ordinate with his sword. Washington delegated Lafayette to receive the sword. This was the last 
engagement of the war of the Revoluticjn. The treaty of peace, however, was not signed until 1783. 

During the Revolution on two occasions five battalions of Y ork County militia joined the army. 
There were nearly 2.000 men from this county in the Continental Line which afterwards corresponded 
to the I'egulai- army of the Inited States. In all out of a population of 2,5.000. York County, including 
Adams, furnished at least .5.000 men who served during a part of the war in the American army. 

Colonel Thomas Hartley who commanded a brigade at the battles of Brandywine. Paoli and ( ier- 
mantown and afterwards a regiment against the Indians of our northern frontier, later served twelve 
years as the first lepresentatixc from York Cf)iHit\ in Congress. In a public speech before the House 
of Representatives, Colonel Hartley asserted that York County furnished more .soldiers to the army 
in our struggle for liberty than any other section with an e(pial po[)ulation in the thirteen states. 



PART III.— WAR OF 1812 AND 1815 

THI^ second war of the liiited States with (iieat Britain began in 1812, Itlngland was never 
quite satisfied with the result of the Revolution whiih created on this continent a new nation 
of thirteen states out of the thirteen original British colonies. This war grew out of a series 
of wrongs inflicted by the English government upon the American people. The chief difliculty between 
the two countries was the fact that (Jreat Britian claimed the right to search American vessels for 
supposed British deserters and their impressment into the British service. England also wanted to 
prohibit American commerce with Fiance with which she was then at war. 

During the twenty years before 1812 nearly all of Europe had been engaged in war brought about 
by Napoleon Bonaparte, and this contention finally involved the United States, The American people 
demanfled free trade with foreign countries, and the rights of our sailors on the high seas. This was 
denied by the mother country, who really captured on our vessels some American sailors claiming they 
were British subjects. These outrages were so great that Congress insisted upon their surrender of 
the British claim of search. The government of the Cnited States refused to negotiate on the 
subject. An embargo was laid upon all ships in American ports, and war was declared by Congress 
against (ireat Britain, This war lasted two and one-half years and involved every section including 
our prosperous County of YOik. 

[ 293 1 



In May 1U12. President Madison issued a call foe 100,000 troops. On this call the quota from 
Pennsylvania was 14,000. Sirnon Snyder who in his boyhood had lived in York was then the (rovernor 
of Pennsylvania. He issued an order for the organization of the militia. The sentiment in York 
County and thrf)u.t;hout the country was almost unanimous for war. 

The volunteer soldiery from \ ork as well as the militia quickly responded to the call for troops. 
Such was the enthusiasm of the hour that in response to the governor's call, three times as many 
troops tendered their services as were recjuired. At this time there resided in York County nearly 100 
st)ldiers who had fought in the Revolution, and many of them volunteered their services to defend their 
country. 

The early part of this war took place along the Canada frontier, extending from New York west to 
Detroit. The British menaced this region with a strong land force. 

Meanwhile in 1813 every naval battle on the ocean was a victory for the Americans. Within 
six months the British had lost six large war vessels on the Atlantic and had taken none of ours. 

Our ships were well l)uill and the American sailors were more accurate in tlieir lire than the British, 
and their victories gave prestige to our navies. During the previous ten years England had declared 
herself mistress of the seas. 

The British land forces were defeated in Northern New York and their fleet on Lake Champlain. 

General Scott crossed into Canada with a brave army and won the famous battles of Chippewa 
and Lundy's Lane. This was encouraging news and heralded as glad tidings all over the country. 
About sixty York County soldiers served under Scott at these battles. After the defeat of their land 
forces along the northern frontier, the British army transferred the seat of war to the South. 

BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE 

On September 10. Itil.'?. (^.ommodore P)ar(!ay of the l^lnglish navy, with a fleet of six vessels and 
sixty-three guns attacked Commodore Oliver II. Perry with the same number of vessels and guns. The 
American fleet was built at the present site of Erie, and Perry never had fought a naval battle before. 
His success was remaikable and his victory won additional honors for Anieiican seamen. 

Perry's flagship, named The Lawrence, had a blue ])ennon at her masthead containing the words 
"Don't give up the ship." He fought gallantly on the Lawrence until only eight of the crew and 
himself were alive. ^ 

The vessels contested with one and anotlier at close quarters side by side, firing with terrific force. 
Perry with his flag in hand passed in an open boat to the Niagara in the midst of the firing, just before 
the flagship was sunk. He then hoisted his flag on the Niagara anfl in a splendid charge broke the 
British line, capturing their whole fleet. This event took place on Lake Erie a short distance west of 
Cleveland. Oliio. 

Perry's (iis|)atch to (Jeneral Harrison announcing his victory was brief and telling: "We have met 
the enemy and they are ours!" It was Perry who turned the scales of the war. His victory on the 
Lake enabled Haiiison with his land force to enter Canada where he utterly defeated General Proctor 
with the British force and Tecuniseh the brave Indian chief who with many warriors had allied himself 
with the enemy. 

Captain Elliott, who commanded the Niagara at the battle of Lake Erie, was born at Frederick, Md. 
He was married to a daughter of ( ieneral Jacob Spangler of York. His wife left York soon after Perry 
won his victory, and met her husband at Erie, Pa. Elliott, for his achievement, was promoted to the 
rank of Commodore in the V. S. Navy. He died at Boston in 1815 while in command of that port. 
Mis. fjUiott s|)ent the last thirty years of hei' life at York, the home of her young womanhood. She 
died here at an advanced age in 1879. 

Midshipman Laub of York, enlisted in the navy in 1810, and took |)art in several battl(>s on the 

[ 294 1 



ocoan fluring the early part of this war. He was killed on the Niajjara by a British cannon ball a few 
minutes before Perry left the Lawreni'e for the Niagara, and was burietl with naval honors near Toledo, 
Ohio. In recognition of his valor, Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy during the World War, 
ordered a Destroyer, one of the largest vessels of that type of the American Navy, to be named "The 
Laub," in honor of the gallant sailor of York who bravely died in defense of his country. The vessel 
was built and launched at the Boston shipyards in 1918. 

ATTACK WASHINGTON AND BALTIMOHK 

In March, 18li, Napoleon was dethroned, and England was able to send more troops to 
America. In August of the same year (General Ross with an army of 1,,50() men and a fleet of forty 
vessels commanded by Admiral ( 'ockburn. landed near Washington, def(>ated a small body of Americans 
defending the city, and burned the White House, National Capitol and all other public buildings 
except the Patent Office. This caused great excitement in southern Pennsylvania. The light in the 
sky caused by the burning buildings in Washington was seen during th(> night at York. 

Ross and the fleet then sailed down the Potomac and up the Chesapeake, landing atNorth Point, 
fourteen miles south of Baltimore. 

PENNSYLVANIA TO THE RESCUE 

Meantime (iovernor Snyder ordered the militia to rendezvous at Marcus Hook on the Delaware 
Bay and at York for the purpose of making preparations to meet and drive back the invading foe. 
About 6.000 men from the southern counties of the state came to York and encamped on the Public 
Common for drill and disciphne. ']lies(> troops were mustered into service for six months or tluring 
the war. The York troops were formed into one division under command of General Watson. This 
body was composed of two brigades, commatided resi)ectively Ijy (ieneral Forster and Adams. They 
arrived here September 5. At the same time 1. 000 militia encamped at Hanover. 

When it was known that the public buildings at Washington were burned and the British were 
al)out to attack Baltimore, the "^Oik volunteers, a company of 60 men under Cai)tain M. H. Spangler; 
two companies commanded respectively by Captains Metzgor and Bair of Hanover; a company from 
Warrington under Captain McClellan; a Lower Chanceford company under Captain Colvin, and one 
from Peach Bottom undei' Captain Amos marched toward Baltinr ire. The York and the Hanover 
companies arrived in that city in time to take part in the battle of North Point. 

A large force of volunteers and militia from Maryland, Mrginia and Pennsylvania were ready to 
defend the city. In a few hours the British wi're defeated and General Ross killed in the battle at 
North Point. On September 16lh, the entire fleet and infantry boarded the British vessels in the 
harbor of Baltimore and disappeared down the bay, never again to cause any disturbance to the 
country. They sailed to England. 

Meantime Forster"s brigade, which encamped at York, reached Baltimore, September 19th. Their 
services being no longer needed, they returned to York. The entire force which encamped here was 
discharged from the ser\ ice. 

The success of the battle of North Point was triumphant, and it was the last engagement of im- 
portance except the battle of New Orleans. 

During the bombardment of Foit McHenry, near Baltimore. Francis Scott Key. born near Taney- 
town, a young poet and lawyer of Washington, became a prisoner of war on a British vessel. He was 
finally released by authority of Admiral Cockburn, and returned to his own vessel. 

It was during the awe-inspiring scenes of the bombardment of the midnight hour that Key began 

[295] 



to writo tho "Star Spanj^'led Banner", now the national air of America. When he arrived in 
Baltimore he completed the poem and fjave it to Captain Benjamin Eades of the 27th Maryland 
Regiment. Two days later, with a copy just printed. Captain Hades hastened to the old tavern next 
to the Holliday StriH't Theatre where actors were accustomed to assemble. Th(> verses were first 
read aloud by the ()riiiter, and then in answer to a call from the audience, Ferdinand Durang sang the 
words for the first time. They had just been put lo music. 

One year later Duian^' and his troujK^ played in a hall on East Market Street near Queen, and there 
for the first lime this national air was sung in \ ork. 

TREATY OF PEACE 

The American victories on land and sea had again proven that American soldiers and sailors could 
compete for mastery with British veterans. The final victory of Andrew Jackson at New Orleans, 
January 8. 1815. ended the war. With an army of 5000 volunteers and militia, Jackson defeated Lord 
Pakenhani with 12,000 British veterans attempting to capture the city. In this battle i'akenham vias 
killed, and the entire British loss was 2,600 men. Jackson's loss was only eight killed and thirteen 
wounded. This event made him the greatest hero then living in America. 

This occurrtnl fifteen days after the treaty of peace had been signed at Ghent, Belgium, by the 
English and American commissioners appointed to sign the treaty. The American commissioners 
were Henry Clay of Kentucky. James A. Bayard of Delaware, and Robert B. Livingston of New York. 
The telegraph was not then in use. and Jackson did not know of the treaty.

PART IV.— THE MEXICAN WAR 

WHAT is now the state of Texas orginally belonged to Mexico, but owing to dissension, Texas 
declared herself independent and organized a republic of her own. Her flag had one star, and 
Texas became known as the "Lone Star State." 

The annexation of Texas in 1815, re,sulted in a war between the I'nited States and Mexico. After 
her annexation a dispute arose between Mexico and Texas about the boundary line. Texas claimed 
that her territory extended to the Rio Grande River, while Mexico insisted that the Nueces River was 
the true division line. President Polk sent an envoy to Mexico, but that government refused him a 
hearing. 

IMeanwhile General Zachary Tayk)r, with a small body of trctops had been ordered to Corpus 
Christi, on the borders of the disputed territory, and a little later to advance to Fort Brown on the 
Rio Grande. The Mexicans looked upon this as an invasion of their country and ordered a body of 
troops across the river. Soon af tei- followed the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palnia in which 
the Americans were victorious, and the Mexican War was begun. This was in April, 18 16. Polk sent 
a message to Congress in which he said, "War exists, notwithstanding all our ellorts to avoid it — exists 
by the act of Mexico herself. Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our 
territory and shed American blood upon American soil." 

Congress responded to the President's message by declaring that war existed "by the act of Mexico." 
and authorized a call for 50,000 volunteers, and appropiated §10,000.000 to meet the expenses. From 
most of the country the call for volunteers was answered with promptness. 

Immediately after President Polk had issued a proclamation announcing that the I nited States 
had declared war against Mexico, the military spirit of the people of the borough and county of York 
was again aroused as it had been during |)revious wars. Two volunteer companies in the borough were 
then under excellent drill and discipline. These were the Washington Artillerists commanded by 
Captain Robert Bruce, and the York Rifles, by Captain George Hay. The York companies and the 
I'nited Blues of Hanover, Captain A. W. Eichelberger. and the Carroll Guards of Dillsburg, Captain 
Totten, offered their services to the United States Government. This occurred in May, 1846. 

CALL FOR TROOPS 

There was no call for troops from Pennsylvania until November 16th of that year when President 
Polk asked for one regiment from this state. In response to the call, (Governor Shunk ordered the 
uniformed military companies of the state to rendezvous at Pittsburg. In a short time fourteen 
compani(>s proceeded to that city. Only ten could be accepted to form a regiment. Six of these came 
from Philadelphia, two from Pittsburg, one from Pottsville and one from \\ ilkes-Barre. 

Although the York County companies were not accepted in a body, nine young men from York 
joined the Monroe Guards, one of the Philadelphia companies. The names of these men were Thomas 
A. Ziegle. who was made a sergeant: Peter Ahl, Jr., Daniel Graver, Albertus Welsh, Jacob Danner, 
Samuel Stair, William Eurich and Robert Patterson. Edward Haviland, afterward a well known 
architect of York, and R. M. Russell of Hanover, who during the Civil War became lieutenant-colonel 
of the Ninth Pennsylvania Cavalry, also served in tliis regiment. 

FIRST PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT 

The ten companies which rendezvoused at Pittsburg were organized into the First Pennsylvania 
R(>giment on December 15, 1816, with Fiancis M. Wyncoop, colon(>l: Samuel P.lack, lieutenant-colonel. 
The regiment soon after proceeded to the front and joined the army under ( ieneral Scott at \ era Cruz 
before he began his triumphant march to the Mexican capital. 

[297 1

298 



The first call f(ir troops rr((in Pennsylvania was answered by sufficient companies to form six regi- 
ments. Only one regiment was wanted from Pennsylvania at that time. Late in December, 1846, 
the president asked for another regiment from this state. Pittsburg had been the place of rendezvous 
for a large part of the AnKM'icari troojw in the War of 1812. At the same city the Pennsylvania regiments 
which went to Mexico, were organized. 

SECOND PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT 

January 5, 1817, the Second Pennsylvania Regiment was mustered into the service. The com- 
panies forming this regiment came from difl'erent parts of the State. Company C, known as 
the Cameron (iuards, had been organized at Ilarrisburg by Captain William A. Small. There 
were a number of York County men enlisted in this company, including Samuel Roller, Jacob Snyder 
and John Walters. Immediately after its organization was completed, the Second Regiment under 
command of Colonel Roberts left Pittsburg for New Orleans, going there by steamboat down th(> Ohio 
and Mississippi rivers. 

TAYLORS VICTORIES 

The troops encamped on the historic battlefield where the American Army under (ieneral 
Jackson defeated the Rritish forces on the 8th of January, 1815. The regiment had a stormy passage 
across the ( iulf of Mexico, landed at Vera Cruz reaching there on the evening of the capture and sur- 
render of the fortress March 29, 1817. General Taylor, commanding the army in the northern part 
of Mexico, had already triumphed over the enemy in four important battles. 

The government had now determined thai an aiiny of about 20.000 men should tnaich from Vera 
Cruz through the valley and over the mountains to th(^ city of Mexico. There was one great difficulty 
to surmount. Many of the American troops could not endure the climate, and as a result of this, a 
large number took sick. Some of them died in hospitals of fever, while others took the smallpox. 
Early in the year 18 17, the two Pennsylvania regiments were placed in the Second Division commanded 
by General Worth. 

SCOTT'S MARCH TO MEXICO 

General Taylor having conquered the Mexicans along the Rio (irande River, a portion of his army 
was now sent to General Scott. On March 29th five thousand Mexican troops surrendered to (General 
Scott at Vera Cruz, and on April 8th he began his march toward the Mexican capital. 

On the 18th of April he defeated Santa Anna, commanding an army of 12,000 men at the mountain 
pass of Cerro Gordo, capturing five generals, 3.000 men, 4,500 stands of arms and 4.3 cannon, and killing 
and wounding more than 1,000 men, with a loss of less than 500 out of 8,500 Americans engaged in 
the battle. Scott paroled the prisoners, and the next day advanced to Jalapa which he captured 
April 19tli. H<> continued his march to Puebia which he occupied May 15th. 

At this place (General Scott remained for drill and discipline of his army and reinforcements until 
August 7th. On that day he advanced on the city of Mexico, and soon after attacked and captured 
Contreras and Cherubusco. An armistice was now agreed upon between the contending armies, during 
which time the American commissioner failefl to negotiate a treaty of peace with the Mexicans. 

HIS ARMY VICTORIOUS 

Operations were resunnnl to the southwest of the city, defended by 1 1.000 Mexicans occupying 
Molino del Rey. and (ieneral Worth's loss was in storming Molino del Rey before the attack on the 
wooded and strongly fortified eminence of Chapultepec. On September 8th, (ieneral Worth with 

[299 1

3,500 men attacked Molino del Rey. capturing much material and more than 800 prisoners, but losing 
one-fourth of his command, including 58 officers. On the l.'5th. Chapultepec was stormed and carried, 
and on the morning of the 11 th, Scotts army marched into the city and occupied the national 
palace. 

END OF THE WAR 

And thus ended the war with Mexico. Within six months (Jeneral Scott had stormed the strongest 
places in the country, won battles against armies double, treble and even quadruple his own, and 
marched without a single reverse from ^ era Cruz to Mexico. He had lost fewer m(>n. made fewer 
mistakes, and caused less devastation in proportion to his victories than any in\ ading general of former 
times. When the Duke of Wellington was asked by a gieat soldier what he thought of Scott's Mexican 
campaign, his reply was, "It was a war of miracles!"" 

The treaty of (iuadalupe Hidalgo was concluded February 2, 1818. New Mexico and Upper 
California were ceded to the United States, and the western boundary of Texas was fixed at the Rio 
Grande del Norte. In return the I'nited States agreed to pay fifteen millions dollars, and to assume 
the debts due American citizens by the !\Iexican gov(>rnment to the amount of Ihiee million five hundred 
thousand dollars. The war cost the United States about twenty-five thousand men (most of whom 
had died bv disease) and one hundred and sixty million dollars. 



YORK COUNTY SOLDIERS 

Besides those mentioned as having enlisted from York County to serve in the Mexican War, were 
the following who served in the dill'erent commands: f^manuel Bates, .lames II. Ross, Jacob Patterson,

Most of the volunteer soldiers from York County who served in the Mexican War were in the army 
of General Scott. They took part in the battles of his brilliant campaign. William Kurick was killed 
at the siege of Pueblo. 

Jacob Danner died of sickness. After being discharged, five of their comrades each contributed 
ten dollars for the purpose of bringing the remains of the deceased soldiers to Y ork for burial, where 
they were interred with militar> h(»nors. Jacob Snyder and John \\ alters from York County, who 
served in Company C, Second Pennsylvania Regiment, died of fever in the hospital at Pueblo. 

Colonel Albert C. Ramsey, a native of York County and a member of the bar. commanded the

which distinguished itself in the battle of Molino del Rey. George Johnston, of York, was killed in 
this battle. Weirich Pentz. Colonel Brough and David Hays served in Ohio regiments. 

Theodore D. Cochran, one of the editors of the York Republican, was first lieutenant of a company

Franklin, who became a rear admiral, was then a Lieutenant on the frigate America of the United 
States fleet at Vera Cruz. 

Horatio Gates Gibson of \ oik. served as a second lieutenant in the Third Artillery in Scott's army. 
Ife became a bripadier-fieneial duiing the Civil War. His brother William (iibson served on the 
gunboat Reefer in the Gulf of Alexico. George P. Welsh of York a lieutenant in the navy was present 
at the bombardment of Vera Cruz, and later served on the Pacific Coast. 

Granville O. Mailer of York, was Fiist li(>utenant of Company C, United States Infantry. General 
Grant, of the Civil War, was a captain in the same regiment and placed a mountain howitzer in a 
church steeple overlooking Mexico, and fired solid shot into the Grand Plaza of the city. For this 
bravery Generals Scott and Woith praised (^.aptain (irant before the whole army. 

Captain Richard E. Cochran of the regular army was killed while leading his compan;^ at the battle 
of Rescaca de la Palma under Taylor in 1846. 

Jacob Stager who died in April 1917. at the age of eighty-six was the last surviving soldier of York 
County in the Mexican War. He enlisted as a marine and served on the Cumberland, flagship of 
Admiral Conner who commanded the United States fleet which stormed and captured Vera Cruz in 1847. 

WELCOMED HOME 

An enthusiastic reception was given to the Mexican soldiers on their retuiii to New York, July 
31, 1848. When the news arrived that these veterans had reached Baltimore, a committee of York 
citizens went down to meet them and escort them home. The soldiers were accompanied by Captain 
William F. Small, of Harrisburg, under whose command some of them had served in the war. 

A procession had been formed in Center Square with Major George Hay as chief marshall. In the 
line of march were three local military companies, the Independent Blues, the Washington Greys 
and Pennsylvania (hiards. The procession moved up George Street to Centre Scjuare and then pro- 
ceeded to a position in front of the Court Mouse. The military companies were drawn up in line 
facing the Court House steps. At this juncture, James Buchanan, of Lancaster, who afterward be- 
came President of the United States, addressed the veterans of the Mexican War and paid tribute to 
the fine military appearance of the local companies. Speeches, on behalf of the returning soldiers, 
were made by Sergeant Thomas A. Ziegle and Captain W. F. Small. 

PART V.-THE CIVIL WAR 

The war for the preservation of the Union began in 1861. It originated fiom the difference of 
opinion between two sections of our country on slavery and the individual lights of states. The 
Southern States had kept up the institution of slavery from the time of their first settlements. Slavery 
had existed in the IVortliern States even after the re\()lufi()n. but long before the Civil War was gather- 
ing force, every state north of Mason and Dixon's line had abolished it. 

The .south advocated the independent rights of States, supporting the claim that any state could 
withdraw from the Union, by its inherit rights. Long and earnest were the discussions on these subjects 
in llie halls of Congress. 

Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, the ablest orator of his time and the great expounder of the 
constitution, opposed the extension of slaveiy, and claimed that no state by its own will could secede 
from the I nion. His eloquent words in the I nited States Senate, "Not liberty first and union after- 
ward, but liberty and union now and forever, one and inseparable," were echoed and re-echoed through- 
out the northern States until the o|)(>ning of the war. It was this sentiment that stiired up the 
patriotism of the northern people and caused the noble defense of the I iiion in the great war which 
lasted four long years.

For a period uf liCty years the laiited States Senate and the affairs of the government had been 
controlled by the statesmen of the South. The crisis in public affaiis came after the passage of the 
Kansas-Nebraska Bill, leaving to the voters of th(^ territory of Kansas to decide whether it should 
be admitted as a slave or a free state. This doctrine became known to American history as "Squatter 
Sovereignty." The great contest, in 18.58. in Illinois between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. 
Douglas for the control of the State Legislature and the election of a Lnited States Senator brought 
forth Mr. Lincoln as the candidate of the I^epublican party for President of the United States. 

After Lincoln's election in November, 1860. the affairs of the (iovernment were no longer in control 
of the southern statesmen. South Carolina sei'eded from the Union December 20. 1860. and six 
other southern states followed her example. At first there was a disposition among some northern 
people to give consent to the secession of these states, and at this time Horace Greeley published in 
the "New York Tribune" his famous editorial, "Wayward Sisters go in Peace." This sentiment 
did not prevail. President Lincoln refused to recognize the right of secession and prepared to defend 
the Union. 

The Confederate (iovernment was organized at .Montgomery, Alabama. f)n February 1. 1861, by 
the election of Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, President, and Alexander 11. Stephens, of Georgia, 
vice-President. This was a temporary organization until the Confederate capital had been removed 
to Richmond in February, 1862. Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated President of the United States 
on March 1, 1861. His inaugural address is one of the masterpieces oi American literature. It 
intended to pacify the South, but the sentiment of secession had spread over that region like a tornado. 
Maryland and Kentucky were still in doubt but they were saved to the Union. 

Before the inauguration of Lincoln all the National forts in the seceded states, except Sumter at 
Charleston, South Carolina, and Pickens at Pensacola, Florida, had been surrendered to the state 
authorities. At this peiiod only seven states had seceded, but others threatened to go if the Federal 
authorities used force to compel the return of thos? states to the Union. 

FORT SUMTER 

On April 8th, President Lincoln stated in a public document that Fort Sumter would be provisioned 
by force, if necessary, orders having been given to send a fleet to its support. It was then garrisoned 
by Major Robert Anderson, commanding eighty Federal troops. On April 12th. before the fleet could 
reach its destination a battery had been planted along the shores of Charleston Harbor by the con- 
federates and fired upon Fort Sumter. Major Anderson replied to this fire and the contest con- 
tinued for twenty-four hours without the loss of life. After having (exhausted his annnunition. and 
the fort being on fire, Anderson surrendered but willi the honors of war was permitted to sail for New 
York. 

The effect of the news of this engagement was marvelous. Up to this time most of the nortliern 
people had not believed .that the South was in earnest. They thought that the questions were political, 
and like similar ones in the past would somehow be settled as heretofore. When the news of the fall 
of Sumter was received, the people of the IVee states seemed to be of one mind and everything else 
was forgotten. When President Lincoln, on April 15th, two days after the surrender, issued his call 
for 75,000 volunteers, "to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our national union," 
the answer was prompt. Thousands more than were called for volunteered, and provisions, money, 
arms and supplies of all kinds were tendered by the states and by individuals. 

CALL FOR TROOPS 

Pennsylvania was to furnish 1 1,000 of llie troops in all sixteen regiments, called for by President 
Lincoln. Andrew (i. Curtin. who had l)een elected (Jovernoi' of the state in October. 1860, was an

of the country. Soon after hearing of Lincoln's proclamation, he called upon volunteer companies in 
the state to assemble at llarrisburg and pri'pare for the defense of the nation. Even before this call 
telegrams came to him from unilonncd companies from every section of the state tendering their 
services. 

SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS 

On the night of April 16th. the Sixth !\Iassachusetts Regiment, left Lowell under command of 
Colonel Jones for the defense of Washington. These troops w(>re all armed and equipped for war. 
When they reached Philadelphia, they were joined by a regiment of 1,000 men under Colonel W. F. 
Small, who had commanded a company in the Mexican war, in which some of our York County troops 
served. His soldiers were all unarmed. When the Sixth MassachLisetts was approaching Baltimore, 
Colonel Jones informed his men that they were in danger of being attacked by a mob while passing 
through Baltimore. He ordered them to load their muskets and prepare for an attack.but not to fire 
unless the mob had first fired upi m them. These early defenders of the nation were tra\('ling in tlnrty-five 
cars, drawn by three engines. When they reached the station at Baltimore, they began to move across 
the city in cars drawn by horses to Camden station, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. At this 
time, locomotives did not pass through the city. As Colonel Small's troops were unarmed, they re- 
mained at the station for a timi^ and th(>n by order of the (iovernor, returned to Philadelphia. 

SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS ATTACKED 

Four companies of the Sixth Massachusetts marched through the city. These were attacked by 
a mob, throwing stones antl brickbats and firing upon the soldiers who quickly returned the fire, 
kiUing seven citizens of Baltimore and wounding several others. Two of the Massachusetts soldiers 
were killed. This event occuried on April 19th, the anniversary of the battle of Lexington and Concord 
in the Revolution. Intense excitiMuent prevailed in Baltimore, and the news of the mob attacking 
the troops, was telegraphed all over the northern states. It aroused the patriotic ardor of the loyal 
people. 

As early as January 1.5, 1861, a Union meeting had been held in the Coui t I louse at York, to discuss 
tlie conditions of affairs in the country. When the news of the attack on Fort Sumter reached the 
town, the Worth Infantry, Captain Thomas A. Ziegle, and York Rifles, Captain George Hay, offered 
their services to the government, llicse lompanies were both armed with rifles which had been 
furnished them two years before by the Secretary of war. On April 17th, the Governor accepted 
their services and they awaited the call to duty. 

Immediately after the attack on the troops at Baltimore had occurred, (iovernor Hicks, of Mary- 
land, ordered the bridges of the Northern Central Railioad north of the city and the bridges on part 
of the road from Baltimore to Wilmington, to be burned. He claimed to be in favor of the I'nion and 
ordered this destruction of the bridges for the purpose of preventing troops from the northern states 
passing through the dominion of Maryland. 

On the evening of April 20th, General W. H. Keim, commanding the militia of Pennsylvania, 
arrived at York from Washington. Because of the destruction of the bridges, he was driven to Cockeys- 
ville in a carriage, and reached York on a locomotive. He gave authority for the Worth Infantry 
and the York Rifles to proceed to Parkton for the purpose of guarding the bridges at that point. They 
left York at 11 o'clock on the night of the 20th. Before leaving, these companies molded bullets 
and were fully armed and equipped ff)r the military serNice. 

Governor Curtin organized the First, Second and Third Regiments of Pennsylvania .\ olunteers, 

[ 307 ]

at Harrisburg, and sent them late in the niglit of April 20tli. to Coikcysvillp, to di'lcnil the bridges 
and the American flag. These troops were all armed with twenty rounds of ammunition. They were 
provided with rations for two days only and it soon fell to the duty of the citizens of York to slaughter 
bullocks on the Public ('ommon and gather together other provisions and send them to the troops at 
Cockeysville and Parkton. Meantime, Mayor Brown and two prominent citizens of Baltimore, 
called upon President Lincoln at the White House, and asked that these Pennsylvania troops be sent 
without the state of Maiyland in order to prevent bloodshed, because of the secession sentiment in 
Baltimore. 

CAMP SCOTT AT YORK 

Immediately after the attack on Fort Sumter at Charleston. South Carolina, the state of Pennsyl- 
vania organized a military camp at Harrisburg. Owing to the fact that trouble Iiad arisen in Baltimore 
and along the line of the Northern Central. ( iovernor Curtin ordered the troops distril)uted along the 
railroad to return to York. 

Camp Scott was then established on iiie ^ oik P'air Grounds in the Southeastern part of the town. 
On Sunday, April 21st, a company from Gettysburg, the jMarion Rifles and the Hanover Infantry, 
three armed and trained military companies came to York. Troops continued to arrive at this camp 
and by May 10. 1861. there were six full regiments and one battery of artillery in Camp Scott and 
some in a camp on Penn Common. 

These troops were divided into two brigades one of which was commanded by (ieneral W ynkoop 
and the other by General Negley. Early in June the troops in York were ordered to the front, because 
a long war was imminent. Meantime (ieneral Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts, was placed in 
charge of the Department of Maryland with headquarters in Baltimore. In June he was sent to the 
front, and was succeeded in Baltimore by tieneral John A. Dix. of New York. 

LOCAL PATRIOTISM 

On April 20th, soon after receiving the news of the attack on the troops passing through Baltimore, 
large Hags were floated to the breeze from the offices of the York Gazette and the Y(jrk Republican, 
and also from the Tremont House, later the National Hotel, which was the stopping place for military 
officers. Other flags were displayed from the private residences of many citizens. On Monday, 
April 22d, a tall pole was erected in Centre Scpiare and a bunting flag unfurled to the breeze. During 
this ceremony, the Worth Infantry Band played the Star Spangled Banner. Hon. Robert J. Fisher 
delivered a speech on this occasion. 

In the afternoon of the same day, a flag pole, one hundred feet liigh, was erected in front of the 
lumber yard of H. Small & Sons, on North Duke Street, when patriotic speeches were delivered by 
Henry L. Pisher. John (libson and John \\ . Bittenger. The Continental Club also unfurled a flag. 
There was a universal sentiment of patriotism in York and throughout the county and a few days 
later a flag, thirty-five feet in length, made by the patriotic ladies of "^'ork. was unfurled from the top 
of tlie pole in Centre Scpiare. This was the flag that was taken down by the Confederates when they 
entered the town June 28, 1863. 

At a meeting of the court on Monday. April 22d. the president judge, Robert J. F'isher. in charging 
the grand jury, referred to the distracted state of the country, and urged upon them the necessity of 
providing for the comfort and support of those who had so promptly obeyed their country's call. He 
stated that the citizens of York had subscribed several thousand dollars, and that the borough author- 
ities had appropriated .SI.OOO. and recommended the grand jury to request the commissioners to make 
a liberal appropriation which would be legalized by the Legislature. Several members of the bar

also addressed the grand jury. The scene was a very impressive one. The grand jury the next day 
recommended that the commissioners appropriate $10,000, which was promptly done. Hanover and 
Wrightsville made liheral appropriations, aggregating about §15.000 in all. The Legislature sub- 
sequently ratified these proceedings. 

The attack on Fort Suinter was the opening of hostilities between the two sections of the Union. 
Soon afterward four more states seceded, making in all eleven to form the Confederate States of 
America. The news of the progress of the war was watched with eager interest. Pennsylvania 
became one of the border States. The quota of sixteen regiments for the three months' service, was 
soon furnished by the Keystone Stat<'. At first it was believed that the war would end in a few months, 
but the battle of Bull Run. fought on ,luly 21. 1861, gave encouragement to the South and a long war 
was imminent. It was then that Lincoln called for troops to serve for three years, or during the wai'. 
Pennsylvania showed hei- loyalty and furnished in all .366.000 men foi' the defense of the L^nion. 

GO TO THE FRONT 

Regiments were now being organized to be sent to the front. The Second Regiment. Pennsylvania 
Volunteers, enlisted in the three months' service was organized at Harrisburg. April 21st, under com- 
mand of Colonel Stambaugh of Chambersburg. The York Rifles und(>r Ca|)tain Hay. with John W. 
Schall. First Lieutenant: Jacoi) Ijiunett, Second Lieutenant, was assigned to this regiment. On June 
1st, it was sent to Chambersburg and became part of the Second Brigade, Second Division of General 
Patterson's army, which was charged with guarding the lines of communication with Washington, 
and operated against the Confederate forces in the Shenandoah \ alley. 

The Sixteenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, was organized May .3, 1«()1. in Harrisburg with 
Thomas A. Ziegle of York as Colonel. The Worth Infantry was assigned to this regiment as Company 
A, with John Hays, Captain: Solomon Myers, First Lieutenant: John M. neitth. Second Lieutenant; 
this regiment on June 8th, joined the army at Chambersburg. 

Patterson was ordered to move his entiie force from Chand)ersliing toward Winchester, Virginia. 
An army of Confederates under (ieneral Jose|)h K. Johnston had begun to concentrate forty miles 
southeast of Washington. 

Stonewall Jackson with a brigade of well drilled troops were in the vicinity of Winchester. Mean- 
time the Union and Confederate armies concentrated at Bull Run on the \ irginia side of the Potomac, 
not far from Washington. Patterson engaged a part of Jackson's force near Winchester, but the latter 
escaped to join the confederates and took part in the engagement at Bull Run. July 21st. 

This battle resulted in a disaster to the !_ nion forces. The Confederates at Bull Run were under 
the direct charge of Jelferson Davis, then president of the Confederacy. With llie southern capital at 
Montgomery, Alabama, until the following year. 

The three months' term of the regiments of Colonels Ziegle and Stambaugh expired July 17th, and 
they returned home. Most of the York troops re-enlisted for three years by joining the Eighty- 
seventh Regiment. Pennsylvania volunteers. 

The next troops, one hundred in number, from this city and county joined the Thirtieth, one of 
the Banner Regiments of Pennsylvania Reserves, enlisted for three years on ./iily 27lh, i\\e days after 
the Rattle of Rull Run. 

The thirtieth was assigned to McCall's Brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserves. During the cam- 
paign under McClellan in his movement toward Richmond in 1862 this regiment did valiant service. 
in the division commanded by (ieneral John M. Reynolds of Lancaster. 

It distinguished itself at the battle of Malvern Hill within sight of the steeplt\s of Richmond, then 
the capital of the Confederacy. In 1862. the regiment served in the battles of Second Bull Run and 
Antietam. and in 1863 at ( iettysburg. In 1861 it served under Grant in his triumphant march towards 

[3111 



RicliiiKind. remaining in the servico until thf (>n(i of thr wai-. The Thirtieth, or First Reserves, .was 
one of the Ijest trained refjinients in the Union army. 

The Forty-first Pennsylvania, or Twelfth Resi^ves. another gallant regiment was organized in 
June, 1H()1. Samuel N.Bailey of Dillsburg. this county, was chosen Lieutenant-Colonel. Company 
(i. of this regiment was recruited in this county with Charles W. Diven of Stewartstown as Captain. 
Later he was pidniotcd to Major and in i8(il liecame Colonel of the Two Hundredth Regiment. 

The Twelfth Reserves were conspicuous for valor under McClellan at Antietam and Fredericks- 
buig in 1862. They were under (leneral Crawforfl at (iettysburg. and took |)art in the hard fought 
battle^ under (irant in the Wilderness and Cold Harbor, remaining in the service until the end of 
the war. 

The Forty-third l^egiment. First Pennsylvania Artillery, entei(Hl the service at the opening of the 
war. One battery of six guns and two hundred men was organized at York by Captain Alferd E. Lewis 
a member of the local bar. The entire regiment had ten batteries or sixty guns. Later the batteries 
were assigned to difTerent regiments. Battery E. after 1862. was connnanded by Thomas (■. Orwig of 
York County. In 1861 it was assigned to the Army of the James antler Butlei- at Drury's Bluif and 
the siege of Petersburg. It was the first battery that entered the city of Richmond after the evacutioii 
of 186.5. 

The Seventy-sixth Regiment P. \. I., organized in August. 1861. contained two York ( '.ouiity 
companies. One of them was recruited by Captain H. C. Mclntyre of York, and th(> other by Captain 
Cyrus Diller of Hanover. Charles C. Carrettson of ^ ork was appointed quartermaster, and later 
became a captain in the regular army. Captain Mclntyre was succeeded in order by I'aptains Jacob 
J. Young. Frank J. Magee and Harrison Stair: and Captain Cyrus Diller by William S. Diller and 
(^.harles L. Iiittinger. 

The 76th assisted in capturing Fort Pulaski, at the mouth of the Savanah Ri\er, and was noted 
for its gallantry in the famous attack on Fort W^agner when it sulfered a heavy loss in killed and 
wounded, including k>0 men and .5 commissioned officers: in a second assault on Fort Wagner the 
regiment sustained another heavy loss. 

In May, 1864, this regiment was ordered to ^ irginia and assigned to the Department of the James. 
At Drury's Bluff Captain Young was killed. Later the Se\ enty-sixth was transferred to the Potomac 
Army and took part in ('.old Harbor, Deep P>ottom and the heavy engag(>ments before Petersburg. 
In January, 1865, this regiment lead the charge on Fort Fisher in North Carolina, one of the hardest 
contests of the south. It was mustered (tut at llarrisburg July 23. 1865, after t'onlinuous seiviceof 
nearly four years, ranking as one of the bra\est commands in the Fnion army. 

Captain Frank J. Magee of Wrightsville became a Brigadier General of the National (iuards of 
Pennsylvania. 

87TH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY 

After the defeat of the l^nion forces at the battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861. President Lincoln 
issued a call for 500.000 troops to serve for three years or during the war. In response to this call 
the 87th Regiment was organized in York with (ieorge Hay as (jolonel: James H. Stable, Lieutenant 
Colonel; Charles H. Buehler, Major, and Jacob Emmett. Adjutant. Recruiting began all over York 
County and the companies rendezvoused on Penn Common and the Fair (hounds. 

The l^illsworth Zouaves, drilled by Captain Stable, became Company A, with John Fahs as captain. 
Company B. formerly the Washington (iuards came from Newberry Township under Captain CruU. 
(^.ompany C was recruited in Hopewell, Chanceford and Windsor by Captain Andrew J. Fulton. 
Captain Noah ( i. Ruhl, who served live years in the regular army, recruited Company D, in Shrewsbury 
and vincinity. Company E was recruited by Captain Solomon Myers of York. Company F came to 
A'ork from (iettysburg under Captain Buehler. Company G was recruited at Hanover by Lieutenant 

(:512| 



Morningstar. Company H camp from Warrington Township under Captain Harmon. Company I 
from New Oxford under Captain Pi'eilVer and Company K from York under Captain John W. Schall. 

Tlie regiment when fully armed and equipped contained 1010 oflicers and men, and nine-tenths of 
its membership were young men from York County, many of whom had been in the three month's 
service. Owing to the fact that danger still existed in the destruction of bridges south of York, the 
87th was distributed along the line of the Northern Central from York to Baltimore. It was here 
that Colonel Hay and his men remained on guard duty from Sept. 16. 1861 to 1862. It was then trans- 
ferred to Keyser, West ^ irginia, and remained there in drill and discipline. 

Late in the fall of 1862. the 87th with other regiments began a romantic inarch across the hills and 
mountains of West \ irginia to drive out confederates who were cariying on guerilla warfare. In 
December, 1862, the 87th returned to Keyser where it was placed in the brigade of General Chiseret, 
a French officer of note and marched across the mountains in a snow storm arriving at Winchester, 
\ irginia, just before Christmas, 1862. 

This regiment began its active career in the Battle at Carter's Woods near Winchester in June, 
1863. Ceneral Lee had begun his march northward on the Gettysburg cam|)aign. Milroy commanded 
the Federal troops at Carter's Woods and was routed by superior force of the enemy. 

The engagement at Carter's Wootls resulted in the complete rout (»f llie Federals, the capture of 
a Maryland and Connecticut Regiment and two hundred of the 87th. They were taken to Richmond 
and held as |)risoners for six weeks and then paroled returning to their regiment. 

In the Mine Run expedition during the mid-winter of 186.3, the regiment under conunand of 
Colonel John W. Schall took an active part. Next this regiment was assigned to duty in the army 
of the Potomac under (ieneral (irant. 

After remaining in wint(>r quarters along the Rapidan River, in May, 1861, Cirant began his famous 
march toward Richmond. The 87th Regiment now under Colonel John W. Schall was distinguished 
for valor in the Wilderness at Spottsylvania and Cold Ilarboi-. In the last mentioned battle Colonel 
Schall, then commanding a brigade, lead his men farther into the enemy's line than any other com- 
mander. The loss was quite heavy in these engagements. Captain harrah was killed at Carter's 
Woods and Captain Pfeifier at Cold Harlior. Colonel Schall was woimded in the charge at Cold Harbor. 

On July 1. 1861, (irant heard that l^^arly with a division of 20,000 men was marching down the 
Shenandoah \ alley toward Washington. He despatched Rickett's division of the Sixth Army Corps 
to Frederick, Maryland. On July *Mh. a terrible battle took place on the Monocacy Creek in which 
the 87th Regiment lost seventy-four men in killed, wounded and captured. Among the killed and 
mortally wounded were Adjutant Martin, Lieutenants Spangler, Haack and Welsh, and Captain 
W. H. Lanius, afterward a piominent citizen of York, was wounded in this battle while carrying an 
order for Lew Wallace in the L nion army. 

At Monocacy under General Lew Wallace the army held Farly in check and prevented him from 
capturing Washington and the Treasury Dejiartment. After this battle llie M7tli Hegiuient was placed 
in th(> lommand of ( ieneral Sheridan, and was in the thickest of the light in the bat tie of 0])equon near 
Winchester. Virginia, where Sheridan rcjuted the entire army of Confederates and drove them up the 
Valley. 

Soon after this event their term of three years had ended. Thcjse who did not rc-cnlist returned 
to York, and were received with great demonstrations of joy. They marched from th(> station to 
Pemi Park where a dinner was given in their honor and patriotic speeches delivered. The reorganized 
regiment took part in the battle of Cedar Creek where Captain Iklgar M. Hiihl was killed. 

The 87th had the reputation of being the best regiment on the skirmish line in (he Potomac Army. 
Every company was noted for excellent drill and discipline. The regiment took part in thirty-eight 
battles and skirmishes during the entire i)eri(»d of service. It sulfered the hea\iest losses at Cold 
Harbor, Petersburg, Monocacy, Winchester and Cedar Creek, wimiing high praise for valor in those 

I 313 1 



hard-fought engagements. The entire muster roll in four yeais was 1280 including recruits. The 
losses in killed were 10 conunissif)ned officers and 90 men, about fifty died in southern prisons; Captain 
Fahs of Company A, Captain Morningstar of Company (i and Lieutenant Stallman of C.onipany C, 
were captured early in 1864 and were confined in Southern prisons for officers until the end of the 
war. Colonel John W. Schall who commanded the regiment for two years was living at Norristown

At the battle of Antietam this icgiment was assigned to French's Division, Sumner's Corps, being 
placed in the thickest of the light at the famous angle near the Dunkard Cluuch, where it maintained 
its position with remarkable bravery for nearly two hours under a withering fire from the enemy. The 
loss was heavy in killed and wounded. (Jen. French in his re{)ort said. "The conduct of this regiment 
in action must take a prominent place in the history of this great battle. There never was better 
material in any army. The 130th lost in this battle thirty-two killed and one hundred forty-six 
wounded, many of whom died of their wounds. Among the wounded were Colonel Maish. Captain 
Jenkins, Captain Sipe and Lieutenant W illiam Tomes of York ( .ounty. The 130th also took a promi-

Zinn, who at a critical time in the battle siezed the regimental Hag in his left hand and flashing his 
sword in his right, rushed forward saying: "Stick to your standard boys. The 130th never loses 
courage." He was struck by a minie ball in this charge, and instantly killed. Lieutenant Wilson of 
York County was also killed. At the battle of Chancellorsville this regiment displayed the same 
courage and determination that it did at Fredericksburg and Antietam. 

Colonel Maish, who then commanded this regiment, was wounded. Our week later the nine 
months' term of enlistment had ended and the regiment returned home. It was nnistered out on 
the 21, St.

20th Regiment, under command of Colonel Thomas, was formed into two battalions. One was as- 
signed to the duty of guarding the railroad bridges o\ er the Conewago at \<nk Haven, and the other 
to guard the bridges over the Codorus near Haniner Junction, until a large force of Confederates 
arrived when they retreated across the Susquehanna to Columbia. 

The 26th Emergency Regiment, commanded by Colonel Jennings of Harrisburg, was sent to Gettys- 
burg and was stationed there when Early's advance reached that town on July 26th. The advance 
of the regiment under Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph S. Jenkins of Hanover moved out in a fog west of

T^E GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN 

After the reverses of the Army of the Potomac under Burnside at Fiedericksburg in December, 
1862, and the defeat of the same army under Hooker at Chancellorsville in May, 1863, General Robert 
E. Lee. comniandinfj a Confederate army of nearly 80.000 nwn. be^an to march northwaicl with the 
intention of tran.sferring the seat of war from ^ irginia into Pennsylvania. He moved nortliward from 
Chancellorsville early in July with his forces composed of three corps. Longstreet commanded one, 
]{]well the second and A. P. Hill the third. The Southern soldiers hafi hern |ilaced under rigid drill 
and discipline before they began this march. 

Lee crossed into the Shenandoah \ alley, met and defeated Milroy with a small forci- near Win- 
chester on .June 1 Uh. and continued what seemed to be a triumphant movement into the Keystone 
State. 

This movejiient of Lee alarmed the northern states. Thousands of men enlisted and entered the 
army. The entire area of Southern I'ennsylvania was under intense stiain and excitement. 

Meantime the Army of the Potomac was placed under General Meade, who followed Lee on his 
march into Pennsylvania. The two armies were soon to meet in a desperate contest on July 1st, 
2d and 3d, in and around Gettysburg, where the Confederates were defeated and driven back to 
Mrginia. 

LEE AT CHAMBERSBURG 

After General Lee crossed the Pennsylvania line near Ilagerstown, Md.. he halted at Chambersburg. 
There on the morning of June 26th. he sent General Ewell to Carlisle with two divisions. The same 
day he despatched (ieneral Early with one division of 10.000 men toward Gettysburg and York. 

On the night of June 28th, P]arly encamped with foiu- brigades near Bigmount in Washington 
Township, (ieneial (iordon with his brigade of 2800 (ieorgia troops bivouacked the same night at 
Farmer's Post tJiiice in Paradise Township. 

Chief Burgess David Small and a delegation of citizens met the Confederate Commander at this 
camp, where he received assurance that the Confederate forces would not destroy any private property 
or molest any citizens when they entered York. 

(iORDON ENT1:RS YORK 

At 10 o'clock Sunday morning, just as the church bells were ringing for service, (iordon's brigade 
entered York, marching up West .Market Street. At Center Stpiare the advance cohunn halted, 
took down a large American flag floating from the top of a tall pole in th(> Square, and continued to 
march toward WrightsviUe. 

When Gordon approached WrightsviUe, a skirmish took place between his advance guard and some 
Federal troops. It was an uneiiual contest and the Federal troops were ordered to cross the river to 
Columbia. 

At that time (Jeneral Couch at Harrisburg was in command of this Department. He ordered 
Colonel Frick with a regiment of Federal troops at Columbia to burn the bridge. This was done to 
prevent the Confederates from marching over it. 

Meantime, Gordon had shelled WrightsviUe with a battery of four guns, and obtained possession 
of the town. He remained there one night and the folKjwing day returned to \ork.

EARLY "S ARRn AL AT YORK 

Cieneral Early bet;an his inarcli at daybreak on June 28th, from BifjiiKtiint through Davidsburg 
and Weiglestown, despatching four companies of cavahy to the mouth of the Conewago Creek at Y^ork 
Haven, where two raih'oad bridges were burned to prevent Union troops from coming down from 
Harrisburg. 

On June 27th. Early despatched Colonel White with a detacliment of 1(10 cuNahy through Hanover 
to Hanover Junction, wher(" they burned the railroad bridges ((\<'i' (he Coddrus along the \oithern 
Central. White then moved to ^ Ork. joining Early on the 28th. 

The Louisiana Brigade under (Jcneral Hays encamped on the night of Ihe 28th at Loucks' Mills, 
a short distance above York. Smilirs i>rigade of A irginia troops took position on Shunk's Hill over- 
looking the town, and planted cannon there, (ieneral Early, in a letter to the author of this story in 
1890, said: "T entered York with Avery's brigade of North Carolina troops who encamped on the 
YOrk Common, where the hospital buildings were stationed, and also the Fair (irounds southeast of 
town. My object in putting my troops in these positions was to protect myself against the enemy if 
he approached." The different brigades, on the evening of the 29th, still held the position they first 
occu|)ied u|)on entering the town, and remained there until ordered to retreat toward (lettysburg on 
the morning of June 3()th. 

EARLY'S REQUISITION 

Soon after General Early arrived he made a requisition upon the town for $1()(),000 in money and 
$40,000 in provisions and clothing for his troops. A committee of citizens began to raise money, but 
owing to the fact that the bank deposits and money owned by prominent citizens had been sent to 
Philadelphia, and elsewhere, the entire amount could not be raised. The committee however raised 
$28,000 and turned it over to Early, at his headquarters in the Court H(juse. A considerable supply 
of clothing and provisions were also raised. The situation did not f)lease the Confederate chieftain 
and he proceeded to collect the money by using stronger efforts. 

CALLS MEETING IN COURT HOUSE 

Early then ordered the Court House bell rung for a public meeting. The large audience room was 
soon filled with representative men of the city. At a given notice. General Early marched up the 
main aisle and took a seat at the judge's desk. Surveying the audience, he arose from his chair dressed 
in full uniform of gray, with his sword dangling at his side. He then began to speak, demanding 
that the committee of citizens proceed at once to collect the balance of the money and turn it over to 
his Adjutant ( Jeneral. He spoke with earnestness, for the town was under martial law. antl the Con- 
federate flag floated over the Court House. 

The leading citizens still persisted that •S12,0()().00 more could not then be raised, for the money 
was not in town. In truth. tli(> money might have been collected from some piivate citizens, but 
this matter was concealed for the time. 

THREATENS TO BURN CAR SHOPS 

Because the General did not succeed in getting a faithful promise that the pe()[3le of York could 
raise .§12.000.00. the balance demanded in his requisition, he went to the residence of the chief burgess 
and boldly declared that he would burn the car shops near the railroad station, because, said he, 'T 
have discovered that they are making cars for the Yankee Government. This makes them (iovernment 

[319 1 



property." He had already sent a squad of men under Captain Wilson of North Carolina to set fire 
to the wooden shops. Had this been done great destruction of property would have followed. 

As General Early and Burgess Small walked down ( Jeorge Street and up North to the shops they 
found a large delegation of citizens collected there. At this instant Philip A. Small, of the firm of 
P. A. & S. Small, stepped up to the Confederate ( )fTicer and said, "( Jeneral, if you do not burn these 
shops, I will give you a draft on New York for the payment of the amount you demand." 

At this juncture, (ieneral Early saw a Confederate courier galloping toward .him. He walked from 
the crowd and received the message, which was from his ct)rps commander, (ieneral Ewell, then at 
Carlisle. It ordered him to retreat to Gettysburg as the Potomac army was moving toward the 
town. He returned lo the depot, told the delegation of citizens that he would consider Mr. Small's 
proposition until the following morning, well knowing that he would be out of town early the next 
day. He returned to his headquarters and issued the following Proclamation: 

York, I'm.. June 30, 1«6:S. 
To lite Cilizens of 'i'ork: 

I liave abstaini'd friirii hiiriiiiit; tlic lailidad huildiiifjs and car shops of ycMir lown because, after examination I am 
satisfied the safely of I In- lown would be endangered; and, acting' in the spirit of luuuanity. whicli has ever characterized 
my K'JVcrnment and its mihlary aiitliorities. I do not desire to involve tlie innociiil in llie same [lunisliment with llie 
guilty. Had 1 apphed llie lorcli wilhoul ret;ard to consecpiences I would liaxc pursui'd a course that would have been 
fully vindicated as an act of just relalialion for tile many authorized acts of b.irbarity perpetrated by your own army 
upon our soil. But wf do not war upon women and children, and I trust the treatment you have met with at the hands 
of my soldiers will open your eyes to the monstrous inicpiity of the war wafied by your ffovernmenl upon the peojile of 
the Confederate .States, and that you will make an ell'ort to shake olf the revolting tyranny under which it is apparent 
to all you are \ourselves groaning. 

J. A. EARLY 
Major ( ieneral C. S. A. 

This is one of the most presum|)tive documents known to American warfare. It was printed in 
York and intended to be widely circulated on June .'^Otli. but since Early had to retrace his steps the 
address was never distributed. The only original copies now in existence are two. One of them was 
given to the author of this article by General Early at his Lynchburg home in Virginia in 1890, and is 
now in the York County Museum: the other copy is on exhibition in a show-case in the Library of 
Congress at Washington.

YORK IN THE WORLD WAR 

By Wadsworth M. George 

SOON after the United States entered the World War in April, 1917. war having been declared 
against (iermany un the second day of that month, which was tiood Friday, loyal citizens of 
York and York County were organized for war activities. Governor Brumbaugh had appointed 
Grier Ilersh. president of the York National Bank, as chairman of the council of national defense 
and food administrator of York County. Mr. Hersh also was placed at the head of various other 
administrative committees to engage in the work of helping to win the war. That splendid organiza- 
tions were formed, is demonstrated by the success that was shown in the various activities. York 
County more than did its share in responding to the call of the country for fmanc(>s to carry the war 
to a successful conclusion. The county has a record of having subscribed a total of $.'50. 182,850 in 
the five Liberty Loans, or $200 per capita, making it one of the banner counties of the United States 
in its per capita subscriptions ti» the Liberty Loans. This money was subscribed largely by the people, 
■"Keej) It Out Of The Banks," having been an eflective slogan in several campaigns. 

Thoroughness of the work of the food administration placed York County among the model 
counties of the I nited States in food conservation. In addition to the loyal support given to the five 
Liberty Loans, there were sold by the War Stamp organization of York County 12,180,000 of War 
Saving Stamps. A War Chest was created, and whil(> actual a})parent needs were about $2.t0.0()0 
the amount subscribed was .$425,000. All managers of industrial and business establishments agreed 
to call upon their employes for contributions out of each week's pay and practically all pledges were 
kept. Several days after Grier Hersh was chosen by the Governor of Pennsy]\aiiia to direct the war 
activities of this county, the council of national defense was organized and for administrative purposes 
was divided into 1.3 districts, with York as headquarters. Originally, chairman of the council estab- 
lished headquarteis where all connnunicalions were held with outside agencies and thiough the chairmen 
of the districts, the administration extended tiuoughout the county. Subsecpient to this, it was 
found in certain instances that the work was subdivided by the appointment of district directors who 
administered directly from head(|aarteis to their county conunittees. A list of distiicts and chairmen 
is here given: District No. 1, city of York, boroughs of North York and West York, townships of 
Spring Garden, Springettsbury and West Manchester, Grier Hersh, chairman; district No. 2, borough 
of Hanover, townships of Penn. Heidelberg. Manheim and West Manlieim. H. S. Stokes, chairmen, 
succeeded later by H. S. Ehrhart; district No. 5, boroughs of Dallastown, Yoe, Loganville and Seven

district No. 7, boroughs of ( !lcn Rock, Shewsbury, Railroad, New Freedom and Jefferson, townships 
of Shrewsbury and Codorus, J. Victor Wambaugh, chairman; district No. 8, boroughs of Spring Grove 
and New Salem, townshijis of North Codorus, .lackson and Paradise; W. L. Glatfelter, chairman; 
district No. 9, boroughs of Dover and WCllsville, townships of Dover, Warrington and Washington,

district No. 12, boroughs of Mt. Wolf and Manchester, townships of Conewago, East Manchester and 

[ 322 ] 



Manchester, H. A. Kauffman, chairman: district No. 13, boroughs of Wrightsville, Hellani, East 
Prospect and Yorkana, townships of Hellam and Lower Windsor, R. P. Wilton, chairman. 

This organization of the council of national defense was effected: Chairman Grier Hersh; vice 
chairman, Mrs. Annie S. McConkey: executive committee, F. H. Beard, Dr. James A. Dale. A. B. 
Farquhar; treasurer, A. F. Fix: assistant treasurer, Laura J. Dice; executive secretary, D. D. Strite, 
succeeded by H. S. Ebert; assistant executive secretary. Miss M. R. Koons; directors for York County, 
building and material. Ceorge E. NelT; civilian service, A. B. Farquhar; motor transportation, .lames 
Rudisill. J. C. Eiscnhart; assistant. Miss Maiy D. Croll, motor messenger; food supply, (irier Ilersh; 
Four Minute men, George Hay Kain; assistant director of churches, the Rev. Andrew Todd Taylor; 
home defense police, Adam (iarver, county superintendent; Robert S. Spangler. adjutant: jmblic 
service reserve, W. V. Barnes, examiner in charge: farm labor agent, Jonas Menges; connuLuiity labor 
board, Dr. Charles H Ehrenfield, chairman, P. A. Elsesser, secretary; W. V. Barnes, examiner in 
charge; registration of women. Miss Emma B. Cochran, chairman: women in industry. Mrs. Forry S. 
Medlar, chairman. Mrs. J. W. Thompson, vice chairman. 

Chairmen of the various war activities of the county were: Liberty bonds, Grier Hersh; Red Cross 
J. C. Schmidt, succeeded by Francis Farquhar; war savings stamps. 0. R. Read: food administrator, 
Grier Hersh; fuel administration. Robert C. Ciephart; Y. M. C. A., P. A. Elsesser; Knights of Colum- 
bus, George Marlow; Jewish Jielief, Dr. J. H. Comroe; war camp community service, Edward Leber; 
women's council of national defense. Mrs. Annie S. McConkey: Y. W. C. A., Mrs. M. L. Hailman; 
women's Liberty Bonds, Mrs. Carey Etnier. After the fourth Liberty Loan campaign. Mrs. I^itnier 
resigned and Mrs. E. G. Steacy. who was chairman of the women's Liberty Loan committee of the 
city, became the county chairman and directed the work of the women in the ^ ictory Loan campaign. 
It was the purpose of the war council of York to assign and regulate the personal .services of the men 
and women engaged in the various campaigns of war activities which w<Me being conducted in the 
county during the war. It was found that the work was not equally distributed. Too much was 
devolving upon a few individuals in each campaign and the need of a central organization to conserve 
energy was seen. It was decided to call a meeting to form a war council. These organizations were 
asked to send delegates: York County Chapter of American Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Ministerial 
Association, Knights of Columbus, Manufacturers' A.ssociation, York Federation of Trades Unions, 
Y. W. C. A., Engineering Society. Women Council of National Defense. York Clearing House As- 
sociation, American Jewish Relief Connnittee, Chamber of Commerce and Public Safety Committee. 
L^norganized labor was represented. A meeting was held, at which all the districts of the county, 
except No. 2, embracing Hanover, were represented. This district preferred to conduct its own war 
activities. The war council organized by selecting the.se directors: (Jeorge H. Whiteley, Sr., chairman; 
J. C. Schmidt, vice chairman; James Rudisill, secretary; W. R. Horner, treasurer. Each of the or- 
ganizations represented at the meeting was given representative on the board of directors. Grier 
Hersh. P. A. Elsesser, 0. R. Read, James Rudisill and V. K. Keesey were named as an executive 
committee, while the council was further organized into bureaus with five members each. Certain 
activities in every campaign were assigned to these bureaus according to the work for which they 
had been formed. 

In district No. 1, which included the city of York, direction of the different departments was as- 
signed as follows: Chairman of district, Grier Hersh; finance, Francis Farquhar: publicity, R. E. 
Winchester, who later was succeeded by Wadsworth N. George; legislation. Henry Washers: allied 
bodies, Edward Leber; medicine and sanitation. Dr. A. A. Long; civic relief. Wilbur Throne; food 
supply, John H. Rutter: materials, E. W. Gardner: industrial plants, S. Forry Laucks; motor trans- 
portation. James Rudisill: civilian service, A. B. Farquhar; military service, J. E. Baker; guards, 

f 323 1 



police and inspection, Ray P. Sheiwood: railways, (lordon Campbell; war cani|) coniinunity service, 
Edward Leber. 

The work of organization reached throufihoiit York County. From its inceptif)n the war council 
greatly facilitatcfl all ci\ ic service for the wiiniing of tiie wai'. 

Throughout the period (if the war. the York County council of national defense, with its various 
well organized divisions of loyal men and women proved 100 per cent efficient as a unit of the Pennsyl- 
vania council of national defense. The executives of the city Liberty Loan committee in the several 
successful campaigns were: ]*]llis S. Lewis, chairman: J. Warner Heinekamp. assistant chairman: 
secretary, Eugene F. Weiser; Francis Farquhar directed the work of the industrial committee in the 
Liberty Loan campaigns in the city. This committee proved a strong factor in putting York over the 
top in the fourth Liberty Loan campaign. An epidemic of influenza had spread while the campaign 
was in progress. A ban was placed upf)n public assemblages by the State Health Department, thus 
hampering the work of the campaign. The formation of a SI. 000 club at this critical time saved the 
Liberty Loan in \(irk. putting the city over the tup gloriously. Th(> industrial committee was again 
active in the ^ ictory Loan campaign in ^ ctrk and attained results such as contributed to the success 
of that memorable campaign. 

The first campaign to l)e carried on by the war council was that of the third Liberty Loan. After 
that camj)aign the war chest was created, with Francis Fartprhar as manager. The war chest took in 
all war activities, including Liberty Bonds, food administration, council of national defense and others, 
when ther'c was need of financial aid over' and above federal appr'opriations. Early in the wf)rk of 
the war council it was decided that e\ery war activity which carried on a national cam|)aign would 
receive from the war chest whatever came to York county plus a percentage to be ailded, which per- 
centage should be the percentage that the whole Lnited States exceeded the allotment of the entire 
nation. This arrangement jnoved satisfactory to all head([uarlers" campaign rrranagers. When the 
epidemic of influenza reached York County, the war chest contributeti to the Red Cross enough 
money to finance all the work at tlie emergency hospital and similarly financed the emergency work 
foi' the \ isiting Nurses" association. 

Too much cannot be said in praise of the effective work of the Four Minute men, an or-ganization 
of speakers which was first dir(>cted by Robert C. i^air and subsequently by George Hay Kain. 
Speakers were provided by this organizatiorr for' theaters, chui'ches and var'ious prrblic meetings in 
the many campaigns of the war period. This division of the work included the song leaders who wer'e 
directed by M. B. Gibson, whose untimely death occurred some months after the close of the war 
activities in which he had figured so prominently befoi-e the prrblic. 

The York County Liberty Loan committee conducted live sirccessful campaigns. In June. 1917, 
the people of the I'ounty were suddenly called upon to raise an allotment of §2,2(18,000 for the govern- 
ment by the purchase of bonds. The amount subscribed in that first campaign was $2,274,500. The 
number- of pur'chasers of the first loan was small. The general public was faced with a ni-w pr'oblem 
which was not coniijrehended. There were many people who wer-e unfamiliar with the system of 
floating a loan. Many did not krrow what a bond meant. Therefoie srrbse(pient campaigns wei'e 
made edircational and the public was (]uick to learn. T\w organization in the first Liberty Loan 
campaigir developed irrto a line and efficient body. The work of the women in the several Liberty 
Loan campaigns is a testimonial to their energy and their' iiatriolic zeal. Irr foiu' of the campaigns 
the women worked as a separate or'ganization from that of the rrren. In the fifth campaign the com- 
mittees of men and women were merged and they co-opei'ated in the work. The record of \ ork County 
in the fixe loans is here given: — 

I 324 I 



First loan, allotment $2.26S,0()(): subscribed $2,271,500. 

Second loan, allotment, .'5 1,000,000; subscribed §1,126,100. 

Third loan, allotment, $1,314,030; subscribed $5,11.5,600. 

Fourth loan, allotment. $8,698,370; subscribed S8. 71 1.150. 

Fifth loan, allotment $6,281,373; subscribed $7,571,900. 

Total allotments. §25.561,773; total subscriptions, $27,802,850; over subscription, §2.238,077. 

The Food Administration of York County entered upon its work about the middle of December, 
1917, with Grier Hersh as county administrator and D. D. Strite. administrator in the city of York. 
During the summer of 1918. D. D. Strite resigned and was succeeded by Harry S. Ebert. Miss Mary 
R. koons was woman deputy adminstrator for York County. Mrs. R. S. Cannon was woman deputy 
food administrator for York City. V. k. keesey was legal advisor to the fctod administration. The 
problems of the administration in York County were varied, but were judiiiously met. At no time 
was there serious objection to enforcement of the regulations to conserve food. In dealing with the 
butchers, bakers, wholesalers, and retail grocers, the policy of the York County administrator was to 
impress upon them that all the regulations were serious and should be obeyed. He had the most 
cordial co-operation of all the trades engaged in the distribution of foods. The few enforcements made 
were resorted to more as an exhibition of publicity than as punili\ e nieastucs. The hotels, restaurants 
and boarding houses of the county co-f)perating with the food administration. I)\ persistent observation 
of the food rules, saved 20 tons of sugar, 315 tons of meat and 520 barrels of Hour. The bakers of 
York County suddenly called upon to |)roduce a ^ ictory loaf of bread, by united effort proved equal 
to the emergency and adhered strictly to all ff)od regulations. By self regulation the grocers of York 
County prevented protiteering and by constant effort maintained the cereal suljstitutes and sugar 
regulations. 

In the peace parade held in '^'ork shortly after the signing of the armistice the Food administration 
was given the head of four di\ isions. The administration's formation consisted of the women's home 
economic committee, numbering about 100. the various deputies and about 300 grocers, hotel men and 
bakers. The office staff, with the administrator marched at the head of the parade. The women's 
division had a float re]iresenting Columbia feeding the Allies. The '^ oik County Fuel administration 
was successful in the regulation of the consumption of fuel in "^ ork ( '.ounty. Robert E. Gephart was 
the fuel administrator. He had the co-operation of the coal dealers of the county, as well as that of 
the general public. The order for heatless Mondays was strictly observed here. As a result of the 
observance of the fuel conservation regulations, York County saved a large amount of coal at that 
critical time when it was needed for the ships to carry munitions and supplies to the allied armies 
in Europe. All of York County's war activities organizations found jtatiiotic response on the part of 
the people to every call made upon them to help win the war. There prevailed among the people of 
the county all through the period of the w ar that same spirit for loyal service to their country, as was 
displayed in the time of the American Revolution and during the Civil war. No county in the United 
States can show a more creditable record than that of York Countv in the world war.

YORK A CITY OF THRIFT 

By Wadsworth M. George 

YORK, the county seat of York County, has in a period of one hundred seventy-eight years 
developed from a meager settlement of log cabins into a thriving industrial and agricultural 
center, having the distinction of being the third city in Pennsylvania in variety of its manufac- 
tured products. The city has within its limits five htuidred and twenty-five large and small industrial 
plants which turn out for the maikets of the country and the world at large nearly one hundred kinds 
of manufactured products. It has long been the favorite statement ( )f after-dinner speakers in referring 
to York as an industrial centre to declare that nearly every staple article of commerce from the tiny 
tack to monster refrigerating machines are produci'd in the entcrjirising city on the banks of the 
Codorus. This claim is no exaggeration. Its plows are used in South America, its water wheels 
harness the streams of the Scandinavian peninsula, its wagons track across the Transvaal veldt, its 
automobiles and motor trucks are used in Asia, its silks clothe fair women of many lands, its ice machines 
are used in every country of the tropics, its tacks are sold on both sides of the planet, and false teeth 
manufactured in the larg(>st tooth factory in the world are shipped as far as New Zealand and Aus- 
tralia. The names of York manufacturers are to be found on machinery and structural steel and iron 
in Egypt and the Holy land. People of many races play upon fine toned musical instruments made in 
York. The largest, oldest and most modein commercial body plant in the world is located at York. 
Among the world's largest industries located in this thriving city are an ice machine factory, a wall 
paper mill, a chain plant and the tooth factory already mentioned. York has not only the largest 
wall paper mill in the world but there are several other mills of less caj)acity manufacturing wall 
paper that place \Hrk on the map as one of Americas leading centers engaged in this trade. 

During the four years of the world war, York manufacturing plants furnished munitions and other 
supplies to the armies of the warring coimtries. Foremost among important supplies fiunished for 
the war were chains, vast quantities of which were shipped abroad, and army truck bodies of all 
kinds, also the official Red Cross Ambulance. A partial list of things made in York will be interesting 
to show that the claim that this city is third among tht> cities of Pemisylvania in variety of industries 
is not idle. There are made in \ork: Automobiles, awnings and tents, blank books, bricks, boots 
and shoes, chains, cigars, cigar box labels, cigar boxes, brooms and brushes, rag carpets, rugs, carriages, 
dental supi)lies. electrical apparatus, fertilizers, files, flour, furniture, hardware, horse collars, harness, 
hats and caps, shirts, sweaters and underwear, knitting mill machinery, hosiery, baking machinery 
and equipments, powder mill machinery, lime, lime products, and cement, malt, beer and soft drinks, 
locks, safes and \aults. mattresses, monuments, proprietary medicines, flavoring extracts, silks, silk 
ribbons, surgical tape, neckties, suspenders, scales, ice machines, cultivators, chocolate, caramels, and 
other candies, orange sorters, cotton gins, fiber machines, harrows, gasohne tractors, turbine water 
wheels, spokes and wheels, smoking tobacco, trat'tion t>ngines. threshing machines, sejiarators, i)ianos, 
violins, ukeleles, incandescent lamps, engines and boilers, rolled steel slacks, malleable iron, corrugated 
iron and metals, brass castings, tacks, iron and wire nails, wall paper, roofing paper, paper boxes, 
stereotype plates for books and magazines, car ventilators, canned goods, preserves and jellies, crackers, 
cakes, pretzels, bread, potato chips, wire cloth, toys, parts for automobiles, motor trucks, carriages, 
wagons, weeders, art glass windows, mirrows, washing machines, and automobile and truck bodies. 
The growth of York always has been steady, never spasmodic. \\hil»> in various [teriods of its 
development from its early days down to the present, there have been booms, these have always been 
on a sound and substantial basis and never erratic or ephemeral. Figures showing increases in pop- 
ulation from 1820 down to 1919 demonstrate the steady manner in which York has grown. These 

f 326 1 



figures are here given: 1820. 3,546; 1830, 1,216; 1810, .5,821; 18.50, 6,963; 1860,8,605; 1870, 11,105; 
1880, 13,979; 1890, 20,795; 1900, 33,708; 1910, 11,750; 1919, about 65,000, according to police census 
directory compilation. 

During the periods hetween 1870 and 1880, and between 1890 and 1900, "^'ork's population was 
increased greatly through annexations, populous communities iiaving developed nearby which were 
taken into the city limits. 

Since 1870, there have been built in York an average of five hundred houses a year. Since the 
entrance of the L'nited States in the recent war the high cost of building material has, in a measure, 
halted building enterprises in York. The outlook, however, for future building is not discouraging. 
New industrial plants are being located here and with the restoration of normal condilions York will 
undoubtedly resume its building activities and it is reasonable to believe that tiic lime is not remote 
when this city will attain the 100,000 mark in population. York of today has an area of 2250 acres, 
embracing 15,000 modern homes with 13,000 voters. The assessed valuation of real estate in the city 
is $32,317,578, accoidiug to the triennial a.ssessment of 1918, 

York County being one of the tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing counties of Pennsylvania, 
heavy revenue is paid into the internal revenue office at York. The revenue receipts of this office 
exceed those of Lancaster and Harrisburg. In 1918. the sales of cigar, tobacco, beer and proprietary 
medicine stamps at the York internal revenue office amounted to $1,896,205.40. In nine months in 
1919, the stamp sales in the office amounted to $1,737,989.77. and it was said by the collector that 
there was prospect that the two million dollar mark would be reached in stamp sales. The volume 
of mail handled at the York postoffice has increased greatly from year to year in the past ten years. The 
normal increase has been seven per cent and in the past year the increase has gone beyond that average, 
having attained 12 per cent. 

There are within the limits of York sixty miles of highways, sixteen and one half-miles of which 
are paved, while the r(>mainder of the streets are macadamized. The city has thirteen miles of elect ric 
railway, while five sirbirrban trolley lines reach populous sections ot York County. These lines are 
operated as one system by the York Railways Company. There are seventy miles of water mains, 
which supply filtered water to the inhabitants. The water supply plant is located south of the city 
and consists of a pimiping station, filtration plant and two reservoirs with a capacity of 10,000,000 
gallons. The pumping station is equipped with engines having a pumping capacity of 10,000.000 
gallons daily. The filter plant capacity is 1,000.000 gallons daily. In addition to this water supply, 
the company operalirrg the plant has in recent years constructed a large impounding dam of enormous 
capacity in Springfield township for use as a reserve supply in the future. Analysis by leading scien- 
tists show the city's water' supply to be the purest in Pennsylvania and unsur|)assed in the United 
States. After filtration the water is conducted by pipes to the clear water basin built of masonry 
and covered with arches and earth, holding over 2.000,000 gallons. From the time the water leaves 
the filter plant until it passes by gravity through the large distril)uting system, it is constantly kept 
free from pollution and is delivered to the consumer clear, (-(dd and sparkling. The average result 
of many hundred tests of this filtered water shows an efficiency of 100 per cent as to turbidity, 100 
per cent as to color and 99 . 50 per cent as to (he rern( >val of bacteria. The water is therefore pr-actically 
sterile. Its purity has eliminated cholera infantimi and reduced the typhoid fever rate of the com- 
munity to a remarkable degree. 

The City's disposal plant and sewer system cost approximately $850,000 00. There are for'ty- 
nine miles of sewers. Collection and disposal of garbage costs the city $27,000.00 a year. The 
contract is held by a corporation operating a sanitary reduction plant outside the city. 

The York Gas Comjiany has a plant of large capacity and a distributing system consisting of 
fifty miles of mains. The York Haven Power Company, with a plant located on the Susquehanna 
river at a distance of twelve miles from York, supplies electrical power for part of the city's public 

[327] 



utilities, such as the street railways, the lighting and telephone systems. Manufacturing establish- 
ments are supplied with power at moderate rates. Cuiieiit is tiansmitted by the plant at York Haven 
to a light, heal and power plant of the Edison Electric Light ( "ompany in York by means of a system 
of cables. 

The lulison Electric Light Company includes in its utilities a public steam heating system anrl a 
new and modern electrical [)laid which also fuiitishes power to the city's public utilities. With the 
several utilities enumerated above, York is well supplied with water, its streets and buildings are well 
lighted and its buildings are well heated. Among the many advantages of York are its pulilic markets, 
abuiulantly su[)plied with jiroducts from the feilile farms and gardens of a rich agricultural section. 
From the earliest borough days down to the present, a curbstone market has been conducted in Center 
Scpiare, twice a week. Wednesdays and Saturdays. There are in addition four large market houses 
open to the j)id)lic at stated hours throughout the week, so that the citizens of York are j)eculiarly 
fortunate in the facilities offered them in the markets where prices in the past have been moderate. 
Even in the present day of high cost, food supplies of a great variety are sold in thes<' markets at prices 
which are comparatively low when (luotations in the public markets of other cities are consulted. 

The telephone service of York is supplied by the American Bell and the York Telephone Companies, 
whose lines extend to all imixtrtant [loiiils in the couidy and are connected with the long distance 
systems. About four thousand (elcphoncs of both companies are in use in the city. The lini\s of 
two great competing telegia|)li companies, the Western I nion and the Postal, entei- York. The "^'ork 
Telephone Company recently installed the automatic dial system, which has greatly facilitated service. 
This company has a total of two thousand lines over the city and couidy and has installed the dial 
systems in five of its exchangers in the county. 

The York ^'olunt(H•r Fir(> Dej)aitment is one of the best organized and most efficient in the state, 
and is a credit to the city. The department consists of eight companies and each company has a line 
modern lire-liouse, A modern tire alarm system is in use and all apparatus is motorized, most of it 
having been made in ^ ork and recognized as the b(>st. The efhciency of Yorks volunteer fire depart- 
ment is demonstrated in the small losses from fires. In nine months in UUy the entire losses from fires 
in the city did not exceed .$6,500. The ^ eteran Volunteer Fiicmen of York have an association and 
their own building in which they meet and which they use for sotial purposes. Two of York's fire 
comjianies. the Laurel and the \ igilant. ari' among the oldest in Pennsylvania, having been organized

part in the development of York industrially and comnK^cially. In 1918, the aggregate d(>posits 
subject to check amounted to $8,781,065.77, while the aggregate interest and saving deposits were 
.$5,159,608.62. There are invested in industries in York more than .$22,000,000. The payrolls of

a handsome federal building the cost of which was $150,000, a c(jminodious municipal building, a jail, 
an almshouse, and a state armory. 

One of the institutions which has been a factor in widely advertising York is the annual exhibition 
known as "The Grand Old York Fair," which is conducted by the York County Agricultural Society 
organized in 1852. The society's exhibition grounds, located in the northwestern section of the city, 
embrace seventy-five acres of level ground on which there are a large office building used by the society, 
a main exhibition building, an annex, a bur ticultiual hall. se%eral smaller exhibition buildings, com- 
modious buildings for exhibiting poultry and li\e.stock, a grandstand with seating capacity of seven 
thousand five hundred and a level half-nnle race course, with ample stabling facilities. The value of 
the society's property is .$550,000. The society since its organization has held sixty-six annual ex- 
hibitions with ever-increasing attendance. The fair is held four days in the first full week of October 
of each year and the attendance often reaches one hundred and eighty thousand for the four days. 
The York fair is known from coast to coast as the largest twenty-five cent fair in Aineiica. 

The theaters of York are ten in number, including an opera house, and a Keith vaude\ille house, 
and represent an investment of $450,000. 

Where to go to church in York is a matter in which the religiously inclined visitor is offered ample 
choice, as there are eighty churches, missions, and religious organizations. Several of the churches 
were organized in colonial times and were among the first west of the Susquehanna river. Some of 
the handsomest church buildings in the state are to be found among those of York. Sixty per cent of 
the inhabitants have membership in the churches, which are liberally supported financially. 

Two daily newspapers are published in York: The Dispatch, issued evenings, with a circulation 
of fourteen thousand and the ( iazette and Daily, a morning paper, with a circulation of fifteen thousand.

andoccupy their own buildings. The American Federation of Labor recently purchased a building to 
occupy as a labor temple. 

Three lines of railroads enter York. A main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, formerly the 
Northern Central, connects the north and the south, and the Frederick division of the Pennsylvania 
railroad, the Western Maryland railroad and the Maryland and Pennsylvania railroad offer additional 
shipping facilities. There are over one hundred passenger and freight trains that run out of York 
every day. Like the country at large. York at the present time is going through a period of recon- 
struction. The people are giving practical consideration to various local problems brought about by 
the war and are looking forward to peaceable solution. York never has had serious labor troubles 
and there never has been a riot to darken the pages of its history. The future of the city of thrift is 
promising at this time. Its business men are optimistic and unite in predicting an era of remarkable 
development in the next ten years.

THE SILENT HERO 

IT is natural to be thrilled at the sight of the man with the ser\ ice stripe, wound 
stripe or medal, hut did you ever stop to think of that army of men who, for 
one reason or another, were denied the privilege (jf wearing their country's 
uniform, but who, steadfastly remaining at their posts and putting every effort 
into their work, formed the indispensable backing to the fighting man:" 

Those who were engaged in the production of supplies required by the Govern- 
ment, those devoting time and effort to the Liberty Loan campaigns, those who, 
at a great personal sacrifice, bought Liberty Bonds to their utmost, and all others 
busy in the many kinds (tf war work at home, contributed in no small way to the 
final victory and should nt>t be forgotten. 

As you recall such a man to your memory, give him a cheer, even though it 
be a mental one, for he is the SILENT HERO.

ORGANIZATION OF YORK COUNTY CHAPTER AMERICAN RED CROSS 

FoH a roiisiderable niimbpr of months [jtior to the entry of this conn tiy into the war an organization 
had been formed in Philadelphia, known as the "Women's Preparedness League". Mrs. 
George Wharton Pepper. Mrs. W. Child.s Drexel and a number of prominent women of Phila- 
delphia were largely instrumental in forming this organization. Women representing each county were 
invited to attend and among those prominent in the jjeginning of this noble work was Mrs. John B. 
Hamme of York. Immediately after her return from Philadelphia the organization of the Womeirs 
Preparedness League was undertaken at York, Pa., and in a very short time put into full operation, 
so that when the Ignited States entered into the World War the women connected witli the "WOmen's 
Preparedness League" arranged for a meeting, in older to organize a chapter of the American Red Cross. 

Under Mrs. Hamme's direction, they secured the services of one of the Red Cross organizers, 
Mr. A. B. Tamlyn of New York, who visited York to organize a branch of the chapter. A number 
of men and women representing the civic and charitable oiganizations of the city attended a meeting 
called in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, which had been generously tendered for this purpose, 
and after the need of such an organization was clearly pointed out and defined by Mr. Tamlyn. a 
chapter was immediately organized and application made for a charter to be known as the York 
County Chapter of the American Red Cross. 

TheofTicersof the meeting were as follows: Presideiil, Mh. John C. Schmidt: Sccri'lary. Mr. T'.ha.s. 
N. Robinson. 

The original officers of the ^ ork County Chapter American R<>d Cross were as follows: Prrsidml. 
Mr. John C. Schmidt: .S'°(vp/arv, -Mr. d. W. Ry.w: Treasurer. Mr. W. A. Keywortm. 

Few of those present fully realized the magnitude of the undertaking, nor did they dream of the 
success which would follow this organization, although the enthusiasm which grew with this work and 
through the war was foreshadowed at this meeting. One after another the re[5resentatives of the 
various organizations rose and pledged their membership to the Red Cross ('hapter. The first need 
was to secure a place for workrooms, as at that time it seemed that the work would be largely the 
making of surgical supplies and hospital garments. This was met by Mr. Alexander E. McLean, 
who tendered to the Red Cross the free use of his former residence. No. 372 E. Market Street, a large 
brick dwelling house. 

The Hon. Nevin M. Wanner. President Judge of ^'ork County, acted as Chairman of the Member- 
ship Committee, and with the work of this strong committee, the organization rapidly grew until in 
a comparatively short time a membership of twelve thousand was reached. 

]\Ir. McLean's residence was equipped as a workroom and a storage room for the large quantities 
of material handled. L nder Mrs. Hamme's direction, representatives of various churches would select 
a day and as high as twenty-five sewing machines were in daily operation making garments. A number 
of these sewing machines were donated by different organizations and the balance were purchased by 
the chapter. 

The purchase of materials was undertaken by the four leading department stores, namely, 
Mr. Alex. E. IXIcLean, of Jas. McLean & Son: Mr. Max (Irumbacher. of the Bon Ton Depaitment 
Store; Mr. C. H. Bear, Jr., of C. H. Bear & Co., and Mr. Jas. II. Rogers, of P. Wiesfs Sons. These 
gentlemen purchased the material for the Red Cross without profit or compensation and delivered 
the goods to the Red Cross storeroom, which was also furnished liy Mr. Alex. E. McLean. 

All garments were cut from the material and deh\ered ready for sewing to the workrooms at 372 
E. Market St. 

As the war progressed, increasing demands were made upon the Chapter and large quantities of 
wool were purchased and given to the devoted women of \ ork to be knitted into sweaters, socks, 
helmets and mittens. Owing to the generous work of the women the demand on the Chapter for wool 

[ 373 ] 



became so great that it was necessary to make a charge for the wool and even then the output of the 
York County Chapter fras ahnost sufficient to meet the extreme demands placed upon it by the Di- 
vision Headquarters at Philadelphia. 

The original organization was largely composed of people from the city of \ork, because they 
were more numerous and more easily called upon, but the patriotism of York was not confined to the 
city by any means, and in a very short time branches and auxiliaries were scattered all over the county, 
at Red Lion. Dallastown, Felt(jn, New Park, Cross Roads, Stewartstown. Delta, (Jlen Rock, Hellam, 
Wrightsville, York Haven, Alanchester, Mt. Wolf, Emigsville, Dillsburg, Wellsville. Dover, Jacobus, 
Loganville, New Freedom, Shewsbury, Woodbine, Windsor, York, East Side; York, West Side; and 
in each auxiliary work rooms were established. ( Jreat rivalry existed between the various auxiliaries 
as to their production and size of membership and through the generosity of the newspapers monthly 
reports of the production from each auxiliary were pulflished. 

The total income of the York County Chapter was at first limited to one-half of the membershij) 
fee. the balance going to headquarters in Philadelphia, but it was soon seen that in order to supply 
sufficient material to meet the demands upon us and the activity of the workers, it was necessary to 
secure very much larger contriliutions. Di\ ision Headquarters notified the Chapter that they were 
expected to contribute a minimum sum of .§75.000, of which twenty-five per cent, could be retained 
by the Chapter to finance its own activities. 

A splendid committee was formed, headed by Ex-Senator David P. Kliuedinst, and composed of 
one hundred of the active business men of York. These were subdivided into ten committees of ten 
members each, including the chairman. Arrangements were made during the week of the drive so 
that the committees would meet in the restaurant of the Colonial Hotel for lunch, each man paying 
for his own lunch, and then amid great excitement and enthusiasm the Chairman of (^ach committee 
would report the result of the last twenty-four hours. Occasionally, short, inspiring speeches were 
made and once we were delighted by an address made by the Raroness Huard. who was maintaining 
at her own expense a Red Cross Hospital in France. The sum hoped for, $75,000, was considerably 
over-contributed by the generosity of the people of York County, and the result of this campaign was 
a total subscription of S90,()00. 

The growth of the Chapter and its activities were so rapid that it became necessary to reorganize 
under separate bureaus, with the chairman of each bureau as a member of the Board of Directors. 
Under this jdan the Board was organized on December 10, 1917, as follows, 

Chairman John C, Schmidt 

]' ice Chairman Franci.s Farquhar 

Treasurer Wm. R. Horner 

Executive Secretary Edw. S. Hengst 

Bureau of Development James Rudisill 

Bureau of Pul)t icily Rev. C. M. Ehehalt 

Women's Bureau Mrs. J. B. FF\mme

Bureau of First Aid Dr. G. E. Holtzapple 

Bureau of Supplies Alex. E. McLean 

Bureau of Accounting John J. Landers 

Bureau of Junior Membership Edwin A. Barnitz 

[ 374 1 



The Executive Committee consisted ol' tlie following: Johin C. Schmidt, Alex. E. ]VIcLean, 
and James Rudisill. 

The material for the workrof)ms was supplied to all of the auxiliaries and liranehes free of cost 
throughout the entire war. except for a period when it became necessary to charge for wool, because 
of the high price and tlie vast number of workers. When the finished goods were sent in each week 
by the twenty-two different auxiliaries they were carefully examined and ins[)ected and packed 
and shipped to the Red Cross llead(piarters in Philadelphia. AH of the labor in the workrooms was 
given gratuitously, except for the ( lerical and stenographic work, and for one or two ladies who gave 
their entire time to this work and ret'ei\('d a very trifling stipend. 

The York Transfer Company generously hauled all of the boxes free of charge, Mr. Alex. E. McLean 
supplying all the necessary labor and packing. 

The York County Chapter Aineiican Red Cross suffered a very serious loss when its President.

John C. Schiiiidl, was talltnl to Washington, D. C, to .serve on one ol' Llie War Boards, which olTice 
occupied nearly all his time and. therefore, necessitated his resignation from the presidency of York 
County Chapter. American Red (joss. The marked success of the Red Cross Chapter was. in a very 
large measure, due to the unselfish devotion, the inspiring enthusiasm, the unremitting zeal which 
characterized most forcibly the Red Cross work of the retiring president to the edification of the 
multitude of Red Cross woikers and the general pid)lir. His sacrifices in time, health and wealth 
jemain untold, liut th(>y ft)rm a part of that spiiit which our fair land America calls all its own. 

Francis Farqiihar. the Vice-chairman of the Chapter, was unanimously elected the successor of 
John C. Schmidt in the chairmanship of the Chapter. The choice was well made. The Red Cross 
work of Mr. Francis Farquhar is a lasting monument of his skillful, energetic, congenial leadership. 

Mr. Francis Farquhar's success in organizing the War Drive was so marked that, at the request of 
Mr. Scott, ('hairman at Division Headquarters, he was invited to serve as the Chairman of the Mem- 
hership Drive fir the eiilire Pciui'^n 1\ aiiia Division. Iti this he was also very successful. 

All of the War Relief Organizniions, it was found, at frecjuent intervals, asked for contributions 
from the people, and it was therefore decided to form a War Chest, which would be the Treasury of 
the various War Relief Organizations. 

An appeal came from Division Headquarters for discarded garments to be sent to the Belgians and 
one hundred tons of good, serviceable garments were contributed, paikccl and shippetl by the York 
County Chapter. 

In Septenibei-. 191(5. the epedemic of Spanish Influenza caused great suffering in this county and 
the number of sufferers was so great that it was beyond the capacity of the hospital to care for them, 
and. under the direction of the Red Cross, a hospital was started in the buildings of the York County 
Agricultural Society, which was maintained from October 13th to November 20th, and all of the 
expenses were borne by the Red Cross. 

With the clos(> of the war. th(> need for surgical supplies, hospital garments, etc.. ceased and the 
workrooms giadually closed, but the Bureau of Civilian Relief, under the direction of Mr. Wilmer C. 
Throne, continued the work of caring for the families and dependents of soldiers and sailors still in 
the service and with welcoming home the convalescent and disabled. 

Many noble and glorious deeds in the history of "^'ork C.(junty Chapter American Red Cross remain 
unrecorded on tliese pages for lack of space. But deep into the hearts and minds of the American 
people has been written a wonderliil story of love and devotion, of service and sacrifice by the in- 
dustiious men and women-workers of the Red Cross who bektng to the "(irand Army" of tlie Unknown, 
the I nhoiKtrcd. and Cnsung. but without whom there should not have l)een the miraculous achieve- 
ments which crown to-day Our ( '.ountry's efforts in the |)ast World War. Truly may be sail! of Ihem 

"Nor shall their glory be forgot 
While Fame her record keeps." 

The end of the war found Yoik ('ounty with gold stars in hundicds of homes (nm\ which the 
soldiers had gone forever, but at such terrible cost great lessons wen> taught and learned. Thus the 
war gave to York County a precious, sacred token — oh! may it li\ <> forever — the Spirit of Team-work, 
for through the magnificent institution of the Red Cross it was that the people of ^'ork County as 
everywhere else in the U. S. A., were given to lealize the vast possibilities and opportunities of doing 
good for the individual as well as (he nation and mankind if all worked together methodically and 
harmoniously. When reflecting upon the wondrous deeds and achieNcments of the American Red

HANOVER CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS 

EARLY in the 1 listory of the war a movement was set afoot to organize a chapter of the American 
Red Cross. The people of the town took an active interest in the project, and at a public 
meeting completed tlu' organization. Headipiarters were established and the work proceeded 
vigorously, aci'omplishing very inip((rtant results. 

In a short time a large number had joined the chapter to work with a united help during the entire 
period of the war. The organizatictn will continue to assist in any other fields of duty that the Red 
Cross may be called upon to perform in the future. 

Immediately following the declaration of War. the citizens of the third district contributed to a 
special fund known as the "Comfort Kit Fund", for the purpose of purchasing comfort kits to be 
presented to each man leaving that district for militaiy service. Approximately one thousand comfort 
kits were given away at a cost of .$1,392.60. The kits contained the following articles: Wash cloth, 
safety razor, talcum i)owder. mirror, thread and ne(Hlles. towels, adhesive plaster, soap, tooth paste 
and tooth brush, hair brush, coiub. pins, and a tin cup. 

Emlet and Enilet. druggists. Hanover, Pa., generously furnished the C(jmmittee practically all 
of the articles at cost, and the ladies of the Woman's Workrooms. Civic League building, joined in 
gi\ ing their services, making comfort bags and olhei- articles. 

The following committee had charge of the fund and distribution of the kits: F. W . Weber, 
chairman. C. F. Phreaner. H. S. Ehrhart. T. ,1. O'N.-ill. J. C. Krebs and l^r. F. E. Beard.

YORK COUNTY AND THE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS 

AT the very outset of the war and especially after the first Liberty Loan Campaign, it became 
evident that (iovernment Securities would necessarily have to be made popular. The proper 
financing of the war could only be accomplished by each citizen lending his savings directly 
to the (iovernment rather than depending on banks, Trust Companies and other financial institutions 
to provide the (iovernment with funds. 

The first pojKilar goNernment seciuities was the Fifty Dollar Liberty Bond, and the success in 
selling a bond of this relati\('ly small denomination lead the Treasury Department to create the War 
Savings Stamp. This form of security had been used by the English Government for several years, 
but as a method of financing the government of the L nited States it was entirely unique. 

After the close of the second Liberty Loan, the War Savings Stamp was being promulgated, and 
Mr. O. Boland Bead was selected to head the work of selling them in York County. In the latter 
part of November, 1917, the work was outlined at a meeting held in Philadeljihia under the direction 
of Mr. Bobert Cassatt. who had been appointed by the Treasury Department to direct this work in 
Pennsylvania. At this meeting. Mr. Frank A. Yanderlip, President of the National City Bank of 
New York, and who was also the National Chairman for the sale of War Savings Stamps outlined the 
work of the local committees. 

I^nlike the LibiMty Loan issues the allotmetU of War Savings Stamps to a community was not 
computed on the bank resources of that community, but the goal was set at Twenty Dollars per 
capita for every man, woman and child in the community. York County was assessed on an approxi- 
mate population of 1.50,997 fcir a quota of .$.3,019,910 00. 

Upon Mr. Bead's return from the meeting in Philadelphia, he solicited a number of prominent

An organization of the County was effected similar to that of the Liberty Loan Committees. The 
thirteen districts were each organized under a Chairman and committees within the districts formed. 
Mr. J. W. Heinekamp took the work in District No. L City of York, assisted by Mr. Eugene Weiser of 
the Chamber of Commerce, and innnediately started to work. Early in 1918, the district Chairmen 
met in York and were addressed by Mr. Edward C. Bendere, Assistant State Chairman under Mr. 
Cassatt. The fullowing district Chairmen attended the meeting: —

The various district Chairmen succeeded in estabUshing throughout York County a total of four 
hundred and twenty-two agencies for the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps and about two hundred 
War Savings Societies. R now becaiu(> apparent that to create local interest work activities and wide 
publicity were necessary. To do this a replica of the Old Court House which orginally stood in Center 
Square, at which Continental Congress met during 1788-89. was erected in the southeast angle of 
Center Square. Mr. Fred Dempwolf prepared the i)lans from a model of the Old Court House which 
stands in the Historical Society's rooms. Mr. S. F. (ilatfelter \oluiitcered his service as contractor in 
erecting the building. H. C. Hyatt contributed the hardware and glass: ,1. E. Grayi)ill. the electric 
wiring and li.\tures: Watt Brothers, the painting: the Pennsylvania Railroad, the bell and cupola: the 
Glen Rock Manufacturers of Glen Rock, the furniture, the York Safe and Lock Company, the safe: 
W. C. McLaughlin, the typewiiter: ,1. W. Heinekam]). the cash registei: Charles Schaefer. the shrubsand 
plants, and Lamotte and Bond, insurance on the building and its lixtures.

Tho huildins was started February 11, 1918. and completed March 9. 1918. On March 16, 1918, 
the building was formally dedicated. Before the ceremony proper a parade of school children was held 
in which some five thousand children marched with their teachers. In the parade also were con- 
tingents of firemen. Pennsylvania Home Defense Police, and jiageant groups, representing (Jeorge 
Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, and a body of Continental Troops. At the completion of the 
parade the marchers returned to Center Square to witness the formal dedication and hear addresses 
by Mr. Hugentuglei'. Mayor of York, and Mr. Robert C. Bair. From then the "Little Couit House." 
as it came to be called, was the center of all the War Stamp activities for both the City and County. 

From the opening of the Court House Mr. Read was assisted by his secretary, Miss E. G. Yake, 
and later Miss S. G. Frey and Miss M. Augenbaugh. as well as the many volunteers who made this 
their headquarters, and from here the campaign was conducted throughout the year. 

Some methods used to create interest were the War Savings Society, in which the members pledged 
themselves to purchase a certain amount of stamps each week, a contest among th(> agencies to see 
which would return the largest amount of sales, a window trimming contest, and the Thrift Army 
among the school children in the City, in which the members gained promotion in proportion to the 
number of stamps ])ur(hased and sold. 

To further promote the sale, clubs were organized to sell the stamps, each club having a day fixed 
when it should be in charge of the Little Court House. A spirited contest ensued among the following 
teams and was won by the team of the Bear Department Store, Captain Jeanette Zinn. who later 
died in the service in France: 

York Chamber of Connnerce, 

Liberty Bell. 

Bear's Department Store, 

P. Wiest's Sons, 

Bon-Ton Department vStore, 

McLean's Department Store, 

York Safe and Lock Company, 

McCrory's 5 and 10 cent Store, 

F. W. Woolworth Store, 

Regal Umbrella Store. 

Certain-teed Products Corporation. 

In the latter half of the year the following teams competed, and this second contest was won by 
the "On the Square" team headed by Miss Mildred Cochrane. 

American Chain Company, 
"On the Square", 

D. G. Dery Silk Mill, Society No. 96, 
Y. W. C. A.,

In the latter part of May, 1918, the State Organization planned to hold a "Pledge Day" throughout 
Pennsylvania, on which day pledges would be solicited to purchase the stamps. At this time Mr. 
Heinekamp, the City Chairman, felt unable to give sufficient time to make this work a success and 
resigned his post. His resignation was accepted and Mr. Walter McBlain became City Chairman. 
Mr. McBlain immediately began to divide the city into small sections and place in charge of each 
section a community secretary, with the view of conducting a personal house-to-house soUcitation 
throughout the remainder of the year. 

This system gave the sale in the City great impetus. During the entire year York County had 
maintained the position between fifth and fifteenth among the counties of the State, being well ahead 
of the average county sales at all times. 

June 28, 1918, in accordance with a Presidential proclamation, was made National War Stamp 
Pledge Day. On that day every one of the four hundred odd school-houses of the County became a 
meeting place of the residents of the school-house districts. Speakers were provided for these meetings 
and pledges to buy War Savings Stamps were secured. The majority of these school-house meetings 
weie well attended and the pledges made were well li\'ed up to. 

At the meeting in Weigelstown school-house, the speakers sent from York secured approximately 
pledges for $1,000. Mr. Joseph Naylor, a resident of the community, was greatly disappointed with 
this showing and next morning rode over the country side and succeeded in securing approximately 
$10,000 in pledges. As the year progressed it became evident that gieat activity woidd he necessary 
if the county were to reach the quota assigned to it. There was inaugurated, with the aid of the 
York Chamber of Commerce, a campaign known as the "Save York's Honor," in which an effort was 
made to secure the sale of $1,000,000 worth of War Savings Stamps. The committees and solicitors 
organized under Mr. Alex. McLean, as Chairman, succeeded in selling stamps to the amount of 
$500,000. A Woman's Sale Week was conducted by the Women of the City with considerable success. 

At the close of the year stamps had been sold in York County to the amount of $2.110.70.5.00, 
or about $15 per capita. Although this fell short of the $20 per capita goal, it must be rememlxMed 
that during this same period the citizens of York County over-subscribed four Liberty l^oans, main- 
tained extensive local war work activities, and through the agencies of the War Chest contributed 
without a campaign to every one of the National War Activities. 

Too much praise can not be given to the Postmaster and Assistant Postmastei- of Y(jrk and the 
Postmasters of the smaller communities. The postmen and rural carriers, together with postal 
employees, carried on througlu)ut the entire year a campaign of tlieir own soHciting pledges and selling 
stamps after their regular work was finished. Had it not been for their aid and co-operation the success 
in York County would not hav(> been as great as it was. Recognition must be given to the excellent 
co-operation of the Labor Organizations of this city who assisted the committee in every possible 
manner under their president, Mr. Alfred A. Billet. 

Mr. 0. Roland Read conducted the campaigns throughout the year, gi\ ing the sale of War Savings 
Stamps practically all of his time aiul attention without any compensatioTi. Louring the year many 
miles were covered throughout York County attending meetings and interviewing the District 
Chairmen. 

The little Court House in Center Square, after serving the purpose for whicii it was designed, was 
closed at midnight December .3. 1918. It has been presented to the City of York and now stands 
on Farcjuhar Park as a memento of ^Ork's 1918 War Savings Campaign and a First Aid Station for 
the citizens of the community. 

It was decided by the Treasury Department to carry on the War Savings Stamps during 1919, 
and make it a peinianent part of ( lovernmental finance. In March, 1919, a committee was organized, 
consisting of James Rudisill, Chairman: Miles \. Minnich, Vice-Chairman; Miss M. R. Koons, As- 
sociate Chairman; J. C. Eisenhart. Francis Farquhar, Grier Heish and Philip Throne, Secretary, to 

1 392 1 



promote the sale for the year. With the imjiotus of the war removed and the pohcy of the Treasury 
Department to abondon the intensive selling eampaigii the sales in 1919 are small when compared 
with the previous year. York County, however, ranks well with corresponding counties in the State 
and it is evident that the War Savings Stamp will continue as a part of our National Economy.

THE WAR COUNCIL OF YORK COUNTY 

The War Counci! of York (lounly was an active organization in the conduct of the war work of 
this section. In it were co-drdinated all of the war-time a(li\ities. The Liberty Loans, the 
Red Cross, I'hrift Stamps, the Food Administration, the Council of National Defense, the 
Woman's Council and all of the active organizations engaged in war work were combined in the War 
Council. Its orgin was th(> result of the first year's expetience in war work. (Jrier Hersh, who had 
been Chairman of the Council of \ational Defense and also Chairman of the Liberty Loans during 
the year of 1917, conceived the idea of co-ordinating the efforts of those engaged in war activities. 

During the month of January. 1018. Mr. Hersh made the suggestion to several members of the 
Liberty Loan Executive Conunittee that the War Council be organized. After some discussion as to 
the best way of forming such an organization and getting interested in its activities those forces of the 
County f)f York which would help in the most positive manner, it was decided that the following 
organizations should be represented: — Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Ministerial Association, knights of 
Columbus, Manufacturers' Association. Federation of Labor, Y. W. C. A., Engineering Society of 
York. Woman's Council of National Defense. York Clearing House Association. American Jewish 
Relief Committee, Chamber of Commerce, Pubhc Safety and L norganized Labor. The plan was to 
have each one of these bodies appoint five delegates to represent them at a meeting to be called in 
the Court House. In turn each one of the five were to designate one of their number as a representative 
on a Board of Directors. 

This meeting was held in the County Court House. February 26, 1918. The meeting was opened 



400 



by the Imperial Quartet, under the direction of H. A. Bailey, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. "Keep 
the Home Fires Burning" and "We're Tenting Tonight" were sung by the Quartet. 

P. A. Elsesser called the meeting to order and Judge N. M. Wanner was nominated and unanimously 
elected Chairman of the meeting. The entire audience sang "My Countiy "Tis of Thee". Dr. A. T. 
Taylor of the First Presbyterian Church made an invocation. James Rudisill was elected Secretary 
of the meeting. Grier Hersh explained the aims and objects of the War Council. The several organ- 
izations interested were represented by the following delegates: — 

Red Cross, Francis Farquhar, Rev. C. M. Ehehalt, W. C. Throne, Mrs. J. B.Hamme: Y. M. C. A.. 
W. L. (ilatfelter, G. H. Whiteley. Sr., S. Fahs Smith, P. A. Elsesser, A. R. Nissly; Ministerial Asso- 
ciation, Dr. A. T. Taylor, Dr. A. A. Long, Rev. J. W. Thompson, Rev. A. C. Shue, Rev. F. A. Rupley; 
Knights of Columbus, George Marlow, Eugene Shuman, Charles Borgel, William Allen; Manufacturers" 
Association, G. H. Whiteley, Sr., Robert Ophart, Horace Keller, J. L. Gerber; Federation of Labor, 
John B. Aumen, Alfred H. Billet, William Eckenrode, Winfield Sleeger, Emory Fehls; Y. W. C. A.. 
Mrs. Francis Farquhar, Mrs. J. C. Schmidt, Mrs. Abner Bentz, Mrs. Albert Bell, Mrs. D. E. Small; 
Engineering Association, James Rudisill, John E. Graybill, Harold Syvertsen, C. H. Ehrenfeld, 
George L. Jessop; Woman's Council of National Defense, Mrs. A. S. McConkey, Miss Annie Gamble, 
Mrs. Ferry Medlar, Miss Emma Cochran, Mrs. John B. Hamme; York Clearing House Association, 
Ellis S. Lewis: American Jewish Relief Committee, Dr. J. H. Comroe, Rabbi E. Davis; Chamber of 
Commerce, \. K. Keesey, Oscar Heckerl, Allen C. Weist, C. M. Fulton, H. N. Forry: Public Safety, 
0. R. Read, J. W. Heinekamp, D. D. Strite, James Rudisill: Unorganized Labor, Adam Garver, W. J. 
Fisher. 

The principal business transacted at this meeting was the adoption of a constitution and by-laws 
for the guidance of War Council. The War Council of York County was adopted as the name of the 
Association. The by-laws also provided that the object for which the association was formed relates to 
the war. Specifiially they are to assist in raising all necessary war funds, in the sale of Liberty Bonds, 
in the sale of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamjjs or any other method of raising money by the 
Government. The by-laws provided that the direction of the association should at all times be under 
the control of a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors was empowered to create offices and 
bureaus, appoint committees and agents, prescribe their duties, and adopt rules and regulations for 
their own government. The Board was also given the power to elect additional members-at-large, 
who were endowed with all the powers of the members elected by the association. The number was 
limited to six. It was also provided that the Board of Directors should elect, from their own members, 
an Executive Committee of five. However, all of the actions by the Fixeculive Conmiittee were 
subjected to revision or approval of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors was dii'ected to 
elect, from its own members, a chairman who was known as the Head of the War Council, and also a 
Vice-Head of the War Council to act in the event of the absence or disability of the Head of the War 
Council. The by-laws also directed that appropriations other than for clerical expenses should only 
be made by the Board of Directors, under the following rules: (1) The call must be endorsed by the 
War or Navy Department. (2) The allotment of York County must be reasonably ecpiitable as com- 
pared to all allotments of other communities of equal population. (.3) The payment must be ap- 
proved by the Board of Directors at a regular or special meeting thereof. To Francis Farquhar is 
due the credit of having made the first outline of the by-laws. How well this work was done is 
evidenced by the successful work of the War Council in York County. 

The first meeting of the Board of Directors was held on Friday evening. March L 1918, at the 
York National Bank. The meeting was called to order by James Rudisill and Grier Hersh was elected 
temporary Chairman. The following members of the Board w-ere present: P. A. Elsesser, George

committee was appointed to suggest a plan of organization: V. K. Keesey, 0. R. Read, J. W. 
Heinekamp. Ellis S. Lewis. .lames Rudisili. 

On March 12th, the second meeting of the Board was held and the York Committee made a repctrt 
recommending several bureaus, and the following members were elected to head the proposed sections: 
Cani|)aign Manager, for- tlie sale of Liberty Bonds, (Jriei- Hersh: City Liljerty Bond Chairman. VM'i^ 
S. Lewis, and \ ice-Chairman of the County, W. D. Bruugher. Welisville. It was also decided that 
the County should be divided according to the plan of the Public Safety Committee of Pennsylvania. 
This plan provided that the County should be divided irrto thirteen districts. — each of the districts 
to be represented by a Chairman, and these districts in turn were t(j be divided into unit,'-' of school- 
house districts. 

The following is a list of the districts: — District No. 1. York City, North York, West York, Spring 
Cjarden, West Manchester and Springettsbury Townships. District No. 2, Hanover, West Manheim, 
Manheim, Heidelberg and Penn Townships. District No. 3, Dallastown, York Township and Spring- 
field Townships, Logarnille. Seven Valleys and Yoe Boroughs. District No. 1, Bed Liori. Windsor 
and Lfpper- Chanceford Townships. District No. 5, Peach Bottom, Fawn, and Lower Chanceford 
Townships, Delta, Fawn Grove and Felton Boroughs. District No. 6, Hopewell, East Hopewell, 
North Hopewell, Stewartstfiwn, W interstown. and Cross Roads. District No. 7. Shewsbury Township 
and Codorus Township, and Clen Rock, Railroad, New Freedom, Shewsbury and Jetl'erson. District

Dover, Washington and Warrington. Dover and Welisville. District No. 10. Franklin, Carr'oll and 
Monaghan, Dillsburg and Franklintown. District No. IL Lewisberry and Fairview, Lewisberry, 
Goldsboio, and York Haven. District No. 12, Hallam. Lower Windsor, Wrightsville, Hallam, East 
Prospect and Yor'kana. 

At this same meeting Mr's. Carey Elnier and James G. Glessner were elected ailcHtional members 
of the Board of Directors. The Chairman also appointed the following committee to recommend to 
the Board a sum of money to be collected by the War Council and lire nramiei' in which the work was 
to be done: J. C. Schmidt, George Marlow, P. A. Elsesser, Dr. Julius Connoe, Dr. A. T. Taylor, Mrs. 
L. M. Hartman and James Rudisili. 

On March 2ftth. a meeting was held in the rooms of the Manrrfacturers" Association at which (!. H. 
Whiteley, Sr.. Head of the War Council presided. The leport of the committee appointed to formulate 
a plan for raising the War Fund was read. This report provided that the sum of .$350,000 be r-aised 
for the purpose of defraying the exjjenses of the War Coimcil and also to provide funds to meet the 
allotment given to York County by the American Red Cross or any other of the general bodies en- 
gaged in relief or philanthropic war work. Francis Farquhar was made Campaign Manager to collect 
this sum. 

Some doubts were felt whether or not the Second District w ould participate in the work of the War 
Council. Grier Hersh, Francis Farquhar and James Rudisili were a committee to consult with the 
authorities of District No. 2. After a conference held in the rooms of the Elks Association in Hanover, 
the leading men of the Second District declined to participate in the organization and consequently 
this district was not included in the War Council of York County for any purpose. 

Tender the direction of Francis Farcpihar a most vigorous campaign was waged thioughout the 
remaining twelve districts. The York Chamber of Commerce printed a booklet wlrich t)utlined the 
plan for raising money. This plan was designed by Mr. Farquhar and provided for a most thorough 
canvass of all the residents of the twelv(> districts. Mr. Far-cjuhar. assisted by members of the Board 
of Directors, made addresses in many parts of the County to large audiences where the purposes of 

[ 402 ] 



tho rampaifjn wero oxplained. One of tlie features of the canipaip;n was a dinner at tlie Colonial 
Hotel, to which leading' business men of the County were invited. After an address by Mr. Farquhar, 
who told of the necessity to defeat Germany and of the huge task in accomplishing such a purpose, 
the sum of $] 10.000 was subscribed to the War Chest. 

\l the Maich meeting of the Board of Directors, P. A. Elsesser, 0. R. Read, Grier Hersh. \. K. 
Keesey and James Rudisill were elected as the Executive Committee of the War Council. With one 
exception the members of this committee have served to the present time. At the end of lQlf5, (). R. 
Read resigned and Fiancis Farquhar was elected in his stead. 

The following bureaus were organized for the active work of the War Council:

Of these bureaus the selling antl soliciting was active in all of the work until the end uf th<' war. 
The members assisted in organizing the Liberty Rond teams and also in selecting the captains of the 
teams which collected the War Chest. The Transjiortation Bureau also served until the end of the 

[ 103 1 



war. As Chairman, J. (',. Jiiisenharl with a true paUiutic spirit devoted much time tu securing auto- 
mobiles for the transportation of speakers and suppHes to remote corners of York county. So effective 
were his efforts that it was unnecessary to liire any automoiiilcs durinf: any of the cain[)aigns. Indeed, 
the automobile service at times was more efficient than some other of the bureaus. On one occasion 
a meeting was to be held in Shrewsbury, but for some reason was postponed and the Liberty Loan 
Office at York notified. 

Mr. Eisenhart secured the services of two automobiles and sent three soldiers, three musicians and 
one speaker to fulfill the engagement. The night was cold and blustery. Upon their arrival in Shrews- 
bury they were unable to find any one who knew of a meeting in that town on that particular evening. 

The Liberty Chariot, a truck which was covered with a canvas frame, covered with electric lights 
and suitably decorated for Liberty Bond purposes was also sent to all sections of the county. This 
machine contained a moving picture outfit, a Deico Lighting Plant and an organ. Lpon arriving at 
the scene of activity the musicians would begin the exercise with singing and would then show moving 
pictures appropriate to either Liberty Bond, Red Cross or Thrift Stamp purposes. On several oc- 
casions it was necessary to proceed up some hill backward owing to the overload which the Liberty 
Chariot carried. On several occasions after the crowd was assembled it was impossible to show the 
pictures, because of some defect in the mechanical equipment. Here the ingenuity of both the speakers 
and the musicians was taxed so as to keep the crowd in a pleasant mood and not to discourage the 
purchase of Liberty Bonds or the contribution of funds for war purposes. 

The Bureau on Publicity and Speakers was also more or less active, but upon the sudden death of 
R. E. Winchester in an automobile accident, this bureau was reorganized. 

The Bureau of Finance supplied the first money to cover the cost of raising a War Chest and in 
every way was a help and assistance in the work of the War Council. So successful was the work of 
raising the War Chest that the total sum of •$ 11.5, .525. .58 was pledged. Of this sum firms and in- 
dividual citizens of York subscribed •'$25,159.08. The employees of the City subscribed §88.882.05 
and the County pledged $101,484.45. At the time of this writing, early in October, 1919, .$380.9 10.00 
has been collected. 

The following leadeis of the districts in the County were untiring in their efforts to make successful 
the raising of the War Chest: 

Dallastown — I. H. Rojahn 
Red Lion — H. L. Haines 
Delta— E. W. Keyser 
Cross Roads — Wm. F. Logan 
Glen Rock — A. P. Dise 
Spring (irove — W. L. Glatfelter 
Wellsville — W. D. Brougher 
Dillsburg — J. S. Kapp 
York Haven — C. C. Emigh 
Mt. Wolf— Henry Wolf 
Wrightsville — R. P. Wilton 

On these men, who gave unselfishly of their time and talents, developed the work of selling Liberty 
Bonds and the other activities. In every instance they were highly successfid and did much to establish 
the enviable record of York county in the World War. 

Arrangements were made with the depository for interest on daily balances and the amount (jf 
this interest covered all of the executive expenses, so that there was no cost in administering this 
huge sum. At a meeting of the Executive Committee held on April 13th. in the rooms of the Engineer- 

I 101 1 



ing Society of York, it was recommended E S. Hengst be appointed Executive Secretary nf tlic War 
CuiHK'il. Mr. Hengst has held this position thronghout the entire war and served with ability and 
I'aithf'idness. At this same meeting it was recommended tliat the lirst appropriation be made from 
the War Chest. The sum of $3,000 was appropriated to the York National War Savings Committee 
for expenses in selling War Stamps and Thrift Stamps. A similar amount was given to the Public 
Safely and Food Administration of the County and another appropriation of .SI. 500. was given to the 
Liberty Loan Organization. These recommendations were approved by the Bf)ard of Directors. 

In every instance the allotments of York county to such objects as the American Red Cross and 
those organizations which comprised the L?nited War Work campaigns were over-subscribed. This 
iinancial support enabled the American Red Cross of York county not only to send large amounts 
of surgical dressings and all kinds of hospital garments for the use of the army, but during the "Flu" 
epidemic a special appropriation of .$25,000 was made to the York County Chapter of the American 
Red Cross to assist in the fight against that epidemic. The entire cost of the F]mergency Hospital, 
which was located in the York County F'air (irounds, was paid from this fund and when the disease 
subsided indigent patients were cared for in tents at the York Hospital. When the distress in the 
Near East became so acute .$.30,000 was given to this cause. The work of the fourth Liberty Bond 
Campaign during this epidemic was also given valuable aid by an ajipropriation of sufTicient funds to 
permit of such advertising in all of the county papers as to make the response to this huge loan to 
be in excess of the amount asked of the county. During this campaign all house-to-house canvasses 
were dispensed with in order to fight the spread of the disease. Following is a list of the appropriations 
from the War Council to the (iresent time.

The Boy Seoul tii(i\ciii('iil in \nik roiinty was also greatly assisted by the appropriation of $1,000 
to the National Couiuil of tliat organization. The work done by the boys during the various cainpaigns 
throughout the county was nio.st helpful. These boys not only performed excell(>nt service for their 
country, but were in turn given an nnder,standing of the duties and obHgations of American Citizenship. 

The by-laws of the War Council provided that an animal meeting should be held of the Council 
itself during the month of January in each year until the end of the War. At the annual meeting 
of 1919, the same Board of Directors was re-elected and the Board also re-elected the officers who 
served during the year- ]9\H.

THE SCOUTS OF YORK COUNTY DURING THE WAR 



RAY F. ZANER, Seoul Excailire. 




S' 



HORTLY after the I nited States entered the war, the scouts 
in ^(ll k ( ity en-masse marched to the City Hall and there 
pledged to the ( '.hief Elxecutive their services, such as 
they were prepared to lender. Scouts do not receive the 
training of soldiers, nor are they trained for military service, 
but being trained to be alert, ready to help where jjossible 
they take advantage of every opportunity "To Do A Cood 
Turn". 

It was not very long until the first call came, and so the 
scouts of York County made their debut in assisting with the 
circulating of Patriotic Pledges through the shops and mills, 
on streets and in stores. 

Then came the organized efforts to raise funds for the Red 
Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, War Chest, and 
the various Liberty Loans. In all these the scouts took a very 
active part. During the .several drives, the scouts busied 
themselves in tacking up posters on the telephone and telegraph 
poles of the county, placing placarfls and circulars throughout 
the stores, banks, shops and mills. During the First Liberty 
Loan the scouts co-operated with the various committees and teams in the sale of bonds. The Drum 
and Bugle Corps were used a number of times to furnish martial music as a stimulus to both woikers 
and citizens. In the remaining Loan Campaigns the scouts acted as gleaners after the reapers and 
solicited for lionds for a period of from three to six days after all other workers were through. It is 
particularly encouraging to know that the scouts on this plan sold over a million dollars worth of 
bonds in Yf)rk county during four Loans. Then let it also be said to the credit of the scouts, that 
practically all of the posters and printed matter used in the various loans and campaigns were dis- 
tributed and posted by them. This was in itself a trem(>ndous task and one in which the boys entered 
with their whole hearts, realizing that a successfully advertised Loan would mean much toward its 
success. 



406 



The Boy Scouts of the Nation through the National organization offered their services to the 
government in acting as dispatch and message bearers. As a result of this, thousands upon thousands 
of circulars and pamphlets were distributed in York county, explaining various jihases of the war. 
and much of it designed to counteract the German propoganda so freely circulated. 

Then came the call for black walnut for gun stocks. A direct appeal from the Pr(\sident of 
the United States started the scout movement on the trail of black walnut and in a short time thousands 
of feet had been reported from this county alone. \\ hen the reports were all in from over the nation, 
there was enough walnut provided and more. 

When it was discovered that peach and other fruit pits could be used in the i)roper making of 
gas masks, a call was issued to the scouts to assist in the collection antl saving of this material. Boxes 
and barrels were provided, circulars and placards were distributed and posted in conspicuous places 
with the result that soon there were a plenty of the material. 

In the matter of the ^^'ar Saving Stamps the scouts were especially active. Not only did they 
put up the posters and distribute literature, but they helped in the selling of them. Over seventy-five 
thousand dollars worth of stamps were sold by the scouts throughout the county. 

During the Liberty Loan (Campaigns scouts served as orderlies at the several h('ad(iuarters and 
rendered valuable aid in this capacity. 

There were a number of patriotic parades where scouts assisted the police in handling the crowds 
and caring for the traflic. 

The influenza epidemic during the war furnished the opportunit,\ for the scouts to really demon- 
strate their worth to the community and to put into real practice some of the many things which 
they had been taught. In the erection of the Hosj)ital on the Fair (irounds. the scouts assisted the 
carpenters, erected the tents, placed equipment, and acted as guards until relieved by the militia. 
After the hospital was opened, scouts served as assistants on the ambulances, orderlies in the hospital, 
handled the ti^lephoiics and moved patients, etc. So much was the work ajipreciated that it brought 
forth an ollicial letter of thanks to each scout who in any way had helped. These scouts served without 
compensation and it was estimated had saved the city a couple thousand dollars. 

The war is over but our work is not. Thei(> will e% (>r be a growing need of helping mold the coming 
manhood of our Nation and the Boy Scout .Mo\ement is doing all it can through its organization to 
enroll the boys of America and to train them in the principles of unselfish service, that they may grow 
physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. 



ACTIVITIES OF THE YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 

IMMEDi.\TELY after war was declared, on the 6th of .\pril, 1917. .lohn B. Mott was requested to 
organize the National War \Aork Council of the '^'oung Men's Christian Association to do Y. I\L 
C. A. work for the soldi(Ms on their way to camjjs. in camps, on their way overseas, and later in 
the fields of Europe. 

A conference was held in June. 1917. at the Bellevue-Stratford in Philadel|jhia. at which several 
members of the Board of Directors of the local Association were present. The needs of the work were 
presented and a local campaign was inaugurated which netted over §7,000.00 for the National ^^ ar 
Work Council. The further need for funds and workers became imperative and in November, 1917. 
the forces were organized in the county, and a fund of -S 16,000.00 was raised. The Association also 
assisted in the promotion of the War Chest Drivt' in 1918. 

[407 1 



From September, 1917, the local Y. M. C. A. builfliiifj; was kept open every day in the week so any 
soldiers coming in could be accommodated with full privileges of the Association at any time, and this 
policy is being continued. During 1918, when large groups of soldiers were in the city over week ends, 
the Frysinger property, which was purchased in April, was used for' dorinitnrii^s The Ladies" Auxihary 
secured a large number of cots and at times as many as one hundred and tifteen were accommodated 
in the building over a Saturday night. On Sunday morning the Ladies' Auxiliary provided breakfast 
for those who stayed in the buil(nng and others who happened to come in time for breakfast. One 
hundred and fifty was the largest number served at one time. In this way a total of fifteen hundred 
were accommodated with night lodging and eighteen hundred witli meals. 

Messrs. Edward Leber. Iv II. R. Polack and E. A. Barnitz were appointed a committee to arrange 
entertainment for soldiers in local homes over week ends, and at times as many as three hundred soldiers 
were prox ided for- in this way. The Board of Directors, the Co-operative Committee and the member- 
ship in general rendered willing service. 

The Ladies" Auxiliary deserves special credit, since the matter of providing and taking care of cots 
and bedclothing, serving luncheons, and entertaining the soldiers, fell mostly to their lot and was 
handled efficiently by them. They were ably assisted by Committees from the Young Women's 
Christian Association, (iirls' Club and ladies from different churches. 

Two hundred and nine members were in the service. Four of this number died, as follows: 

Private Walter L. Fitzgerald, 18th Aero S(|ua(lron. died of ,s|)inal meningitis in 

France January 9, 1919. 
Private Latimer Sayers, Battery A, Second Trench Mortars, died of [ineumonia, 

Febiuary 11, 1918. at Fortress Monroe, Va. 
Private Sherman W. Leifer, Company A, 6th Engineers, killed in action, July 15, 1918. 
Sergeant Harry E. Strayer. Headquarters Company 112th Infantry, died of pneumonia, 

in France, October 18, 1918. 

Th(> officers of th(> Association during this period were: 

P. A. Elsesser, President. 

Geo. H. Whiteley, Mce-Presidenl. 

K. W. Gardner, Secretary. 

Edw.vrd Leber. Treasurer 

H. A. Bailey, General Secretary. 

The officers of the Ladies" Auxiliary: 

Mrs. George L. Stallvian, President. 
Mr.s. (iEORCiE E. Neff, Vice-President. 
Mrs. ViRCiiNiA Johnson. Vice-President. 
Miss Alice Neff, Becording Secretary. 
Miss Flora Immel, Corres/xindinf/ Secretary. 
Mrs. E. a. Rice, Treasurer. 

H. A. Bailey, 

General Secretary.

THE WORK OF YORK THEATERS DURING THE WAR PERIOD 

IT is to he said of the owners and managers of York's theaters and moving picture houses that 
they were not found lacking in doing their bit to assist the government in the prosecution of the 
war. When their sup|)ort and efforts were needed they always responded loyally. They proved 
a helpful factor in all local work and drives in the interest of the war. Along with the newspapers they 
were the chief means of publicity in the various Red Cross, War Savings, War Chest and five Liberty 
Loan drives. Their theaters and screens were always at the disposal of the York County Council of 
National Defense. Four Minute -Men were given the privilege of addressing audiences at all shows. 
Special slides and reels furnished by the government were exhibited and often featured. Through the 
potent medium of the theaters and picture shows much advertising was given the Food Administration 
and its jilans for conserving food, while the success of various recruiting drives of the army, navy 
and marine corps was in part due to the help of York's theatrical and amusement managers, who had 
their own organization for war activities. This organization was affiliated with the Council of National 
Defense and was always on the job. For their sincen* jjatiiotisin and creditable work, the managers 
received a special letter signed by President Wilson and were awarded idU of honor certificates. The 
theaters thus honored were: 

The York Opera House, N. Appell, Manager. 

The Orpheum Theater. N. Ai>pell. Manager. 

The llij)iiodrome Theater. Klin(> llendeison. Manager. 

The Jackson Theater. F. E. Barry, Manager 

The Scenic Theater, J. Hill Snyder, Manager. 

The Wizard Theater, O. C. Deckman, Manager. 



i^^ 



SPEARING ACTIVITIES OF THE FOUR MINUTE MEN 

AT the outset, the patriotic speaking in York < '.ounty was conducted under two different organiza- 
tions but under one head. In motion ])icttne theatres and other places of amusement the 
sjieakers were Four Minute Men, while all other speaking was conducted by the Speaker's 
Bureau of the York County Committee of Public Safety. 

The Four Minute Men were a branch of thf> Committee on Public Information created by executive 
order of the President, while the ( '.ominittee of I'ublic Safety was a brainh of the ( '.ouniil of \ational 
Defense created by Act of Congress. Originally, in order to conf(jrm to the Revolutionary precedent, 
the State and Local I'nits of the Council of National Defense in Pennsylvania were designated as 
State and County Committees of Public Safety, but later, in order to conform in i)art with the practice 
of other States, the designation was changed to Council of National Defense and Committee of Public 
Safety. 

The organization of the Four Minute Men and of the Speakers' Bureau in \ork County was iden- 
tical, the same person serving as Chairman of Four Minute Men and of the Speakers' Bureau. At the 
outset, Mr. (Jrier Hersh undertook both Chairmanships in addition to his other war activities, but 
prior to the Second Liberty Loan campaign he retired in favor of Robert C. Bair. Esq., who acted 
until April, 1^)18, when (ieorge Hay Kain, Esq., was appointed Chairman of the York County Division 

[ 109 1 



of Four Minute Mon and of tho York County Speakers" Bureau. Those organizations took part in 
the Third Liberty Loan campaign. Afterward all speaking activities were placed in charge of the 
Four Minute Men as such, under which organization the Fouith Loan was carried through. The 
speaking during this campaign was much hamin'ied l)y reason of the influenza quarantine. On 
Christmas Eve, 1918, the Four Minute Men ceased to e.xist and the members received certificates of 
honorable discharge. 

Practically the same persons constituted the York County Division of Speakers' and Meetings, 
during the Victory Loan drive. 

In the campaign for the Third Loan, singing and other forms of entertainment were used as a part 
of the program, hut the formal organization of a Singing l)i\ision did not take place until the Fourth 
Loan campaign, when .!\h-. M. B. Cibson as Chairman, organized the singing force. Mr. Cibson 
also acted as Chairman of the Singing Division during the Victory Loan campaign. 

During the several camijaigns, the local forces were augmented by soldiers detailed to the county 
by the State organization, which also sent other speakers from time to time for special occasions. 

A roster of the organization for each Loan campaign is impracticable, both for want of space and 
because in large measure there would be a mere rep(>titioii nf names. There follows, however, a list 
of the persons who made up, from time to time, the Four Minute Men and the Speakers" Bureau; 
and also a roster of the organization for the Victory Loan campaign. It must be understood, however, 
that because of the somewhat stringent reciuirements for enrollment as an actual "Four Minute Man"", 
some whose names are included under that heading were not actually enrolled as such at Washington 
through no fault of their own, but because of absence, illness, or similar unavoidable occurrences. 
It must also be remembered that many persfins who volunteered their services from time to time but 
who did not serve regularly, are not included. And linally, the need for bre\ ity reipiires the 
ommission of the names of the members of the various church choirs which served en masse undei' 
the singing leaders of the \ ictory Loan Drive.

GENERAL JOHN SEDGWICK POST No. 37, G. A. R. 

GENERAL John Sedgwick Post No. 37, Department of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of tlie 
l^epublic, was organized April. 1866. and was knctwn as the Boys in Blue, but after a few years 
disbanded. A re-organization was eifected by meinljers of the parent body as a part of the 
G. A. R. as follows: Instituted May 8, 1878, with the following charter membeis: William H. Lanius, 
Lewis H. Eppley. Henry M. Davis. Wellington G. Erwin. Hiram S. McNair, David K. Myers. Samuel 
I. Adams. Joseph U. Test, Abner W. Mimiith, Thomas Minnieh. (reorge L. Koons, Robert Burrows, 
Henry T. Goodling, Samuel Simons, Samuel Myers, Samuel Everhart, George Horn, Edward R. Herr, 
Charles H. Busey. Lafayette Schlosser. \\ illiam H. Swartz. \\ illiam H. Bastress. George Graybill. 
William F. Eiehar. Andrew B. Jack. .Matthew J. McKiiinon, .hihii Burg, August C. Stieg and Ci. P. 
Spangler. 

The Post held its first meeting on the third iloor of the Jt)rdan Building. Centre Square. Captain 
William H. Lanius, through whose efforts the Post was successfully organized, was chosen the first 
Commander. The Post grew very rapidly and at the present time there are about one hundred and 
twenty names of comrades on the roll in good standing. There are over five hundred names on the 
Memorial Roll of comrades who have died since muster. Many have been transferred to other Posts, 
and others have severed their connection in other ways. 

In 1892. the encampment of the Department of Pennsylvania, held at Gettysburg, honored the 
Post by electing Captain lulward L. Schroinier to the office of Senior \ ice Department Commander, 
the second highest office in the Department. 

There are active posts at Hanover. Delta and Wrightsviile. but death has so thinned the ranks 
of the veterans that most of the posts in the smaller towns have been disbanded.

UNITED SPANISH W\R VETERANS 

COLONEL Edwin B. Watts Camp No. 68, United Spanish War Veterans, of the Department of 
Pennsylvania, was instituted June 10, 1911. The instituting' oflicers were: Captain K. Laub- 
enstein and Corporal \\ illiani P Messinger, representing the National Association. 

The following were installed as the first officers of the Camp, Commander, William 11. Haublitz; 
Senior \ ice-Conmiander, Joseph Beaverson; Junior Vice-Commander, Thomas F. Heberly; Adjutant, 
James J. Logan: (^)uartermaster. Charles A. Lutz. The organization took place in the law offices of 
Logan and Logan. The camp is well equipped and uniformed, with a good live membership. 

The object of this Camp is to keep alive the memories of the War with Spain, the Insurrection in 
the Philip]jines, and the China Boxer War. To promote the best interests of those who took an 
honorable part in these wars. To encourage and spread universal liberty and equal rights and justice 
to all men. To encourage and assist in promoting patriotism in the public schools. To bury our 
deceased comrades with military honors. To see that Memorial Day is properly observed. 

The War with Spain was not a long war, but it was a war which made the LInited States a first- 
class world power, which was just proved by the World War now about ended. The war with Spain 
was for the liberation of Cuba from over four hundred years of Spanish misrule and slavery. Cuba is 
now a properous nation, and happy in her freedom. Not only Cuba is happy, but Porto Rico, Guam 
and the Philip])ines, as a result of that short war, came under the United States rule. The boys of 
1898 were, therefore, the first to light for a foreign people, and to establish a Republic government 
in a foreign land. 

During the World War, Colonel lulwin B. Watts Camp buried with military honors the brave 
boys who died while in service and who were buried in tlie cemeteries in ^Ork. On one occasion we 
had two funerals in one afternoon, a Lieutenant at Prospect Hill about 2 P. M., and a private soldier 
at (Ireenmount at .'5:30 P. I\L An auto was used for quick transport. We also buried a member of 
the Grand Army, giving full military honors. Colonel lulwin Watts Cam]) made no distinction: a 
soldier is a comrade, whether a Civil War Veteran or a World War Veteran. We have all fought for 
ideals that are right and just and for universal piiiuiples of Freedom, Patriotism and Humanity.

YORK POST No. 127, AMKRICAN LEGION 

YORK, PENNSYLVANIA 

IN order to take up a vvoik whirh was left tiiifiuisliecl by the sudden termination of the Worhl \^'ar, 
soldiers, sailors and marines of this city and \iiinity decided upon the formalion of a local post 
of the American Lefjion. After several meetings had been held at which tli(> ohjei'ls and purposes 
of the oriiani/alion were discussed, a conference was called by the temporary presidiiii; oflicer. Attoi'ney 
William II. Kurtz, for Wednesday evening, August 7, 1919, in the (irand Army Hall. An election 
was held which resulted as follows: 

G. MoRviN Peter.s, Po.s7 Chairman. 

John C. Hoffman, \ ice-Chairman. 

Curtis A. Thom.\s, Secretary. 

Ru.S.SELL B. Wehler, Trrasiurr. 

Jason B. Snyder, Mlnlmeul. In.^urann' and Eniplnymrnt OJficrr. 

Mayor K. S. ilugentugler addressed the members of the Post at this meeting on the matter of a 
community welcome home celebration for the heroes of the World War. He suggested that a com- 
mittee be apijointed to reconnnend a date which was later fixed as November 11. 1919, commemorating 
the date of the signing of the armistice and the closing of the World War. This was the largest and 
most elaborate welcome home celebiation ever held in York County. 

The meetings of the York Post of the American Legion, which is chartered as Post No. 127 in the 
State of Pennsylvania are held in their new quarters in the basement of the Rupp Building. Center 
Square. These meetings aie held every two weeks on a Wednesday e\ cning. 

By a series of smokers and get-together meetings th(> Post lias grown from a small groiqj of e.\- 
service men to a large and inlhiential organization. At the |)iesent time there are enioUed in the local 
post about 1600. 

Posts have been established in the fullowing towns tliroughout the county, Hanover, Spring Grove- 
(den Bock, Stewartstown and York. \

HAROLD H. BAIR POST No. U, AMERICAN LEGION 

HANOVER, PENNSYLVANIA 

AS early as IMay, 1919, the former service men of Hanov(>r and vicinity, realizing that it was to 
their interest as well as to the interest of the community that some sort of an organization be 
formed, held a number of meetings for the formulation of plans for such an organization. 
These meetings were all exceptionally well attended, in spite of the fact that the majority of the men 
who had been in the service had not yet been released from duty, and great enthusiasm was aroused. 
From the very beginning it was evident that such an organization was not only possible, but that it 
would have a large membership and would have the hearty support of every citizen of the tf)wn. 

As officers of the temporary organization R. Y. Naill was chosen chairman, Edwin W. Kline, 
vice-chairman, C. F. Khr<'hart, secretary, and Howard Dillow, treasurer. 

By a vote of the men it was planned that they should participate in the .Memorial Day parade 
as a body, and in preparation for this a number of practice drills were decided upon. Edwin \\. Kline, 
a former Lieutenant of Infantry, was unanimously chosen drillmaster, and thrf)ugh his efforts and 
with the help of every man in the organization there were o\ er two hundred former service men in 
line on that day. From this time every man, as soon as he was mustered out of the service and returned 
home, was only too eager to join his name to the already large list. 

From a mere temporary organization there grew up a Post of the American Legion, composed of 
men from Hanover and the immediate vicinity, the first in York county to receive its charter from the 
State, and the fourteenth charter in the State. This charter was received during the month r)f June, 
1919, and its provisions and by-laws adopted at a meeting held on July 1st. The membership con- 
tinued to grow from day to day as the men returned to civilian life, until at the time of the National 
Convention in November. ]'*U*. it has reached over three hundred with dues paid in full. 

Interest in the Hanover Post has never weakened, but instead has become more keen, until to-day 
Harold H. Bair Post No. 14, American Legion. Hanover, Pennsylvania, has the enviable reputation 
of being one of the most active Posts in the State, wffh a representation which is surpassed by very 
few towns of an equal size. As a result of festivals, minstrel shows, etc.. there is quite a fair amount 
of money in the treasury, and plans are now well under way for the purchase and equipment of a per- 
manent home for the Post.
